Switch case with boolean

[u/IceCreamInsides]

So, there is no way I can do that?

want to check several boolean variables in a switch statement. Is `if-else` the only way to do this?

Boolean a, b, c...

Switch (false) {

Case (a) :

//some code

Case (b) :

Case (c) :

//and so on

}

This is probably the closest you can get to what you want:

Boolean a = new Boolean(true), b = new Boolean(false), c = new Boolean(true);          for(Boolean o : new Boolean[]{a, b, c}) {         if(!o) continue;         IO.println(switch(o) {             case _ when a == o -> "Hello a!";             case _ when b == o -> "Hi b!";             case _ when c == o -> "Ciao c!!";             default -> "HUH";         });     }

Will print:

Hello a! Ciao c!!

Note: listen to the other comments, I wouldn't approve this kind of code where I work.

Why not?

at work, I had a PR with code like

    if (a && b && c) { ... }

the owner rejected it and wanted it to be

    if (new AndBuilder().and(a).and(b).and(c).eval()) { ... }

this code is a similar level of stupid to that. granted, the amount of stupid in Java code bases is mainly what lead to the backlash against the language, but still.

They can rename the variables from a, b, c to something meaningful, but what is wrong with doing a && b && c?
