The short version is that he added start/end clauses to switch statements, to add additional pattern matching for groups of cases. Additionally, it's worth noting that in HolyC, if you don't set a variable, it's sent to stdout, so each branch of the switch is echoing output (that might just be for strings, or single quoted strings, I'm not sure).
I64 i;
for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
switch (i) {
case 0: 'Zero\n'; break;
case 1: 'One\n'; break;
case 2: 'Two\n'; break;
start:
'[';
case 3: 'Three'; break;
case 4: 'Four'; break;
case 5: 'Five'; break;
case 6: 'Six'; break;
end:
']\n';
break;
case 7: 'Seven\n'; break;
case 8: 'Eight\n'; break;
case 9: 'Nine\n'; break;
}
}Which is roughly the same as:def wrapped(num):
return '[{0}]'.format(num)
switch = {
0: 'Zero', 1: 'One', 2: 'Two',
3: lambda: wrapped('Three'),
4: lambda: wrapped('Four'),
5: lambda: wrapped('Five'),
6: lambda: wrapped('Six'),
7: 'Seven', 8: 'Eight', 9: 'Nine'
}
for i in range(10):
val = switch[i]
# the same as a `if` in this example
while callable(val):
val = val()
print(val)Output:Zero
One
Two
[Three]
[Four]
[Five]
[Six]
Seven
Eight

. I tried - just out of curiosity
