does a case (switch statement) has to be "case 1/2/3/...)?

[tonitoni1998]

i tried to change my if statement into a switch statement (just to learn how it works)

if statement:

Code: (Select All)

if(GetPlayerLampOil() == 0.0f)
    {
        SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone1", 5.0f);
    }
    else if(GetPlayerLampOil() > 0.0f && GetPlayerLampOil() <= 5.0f)
    {
        SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone2", 5.0f);
    }
    else if(GetPlayerLampOil() > 5.0f && GetPlayerLampOil() < 12.5f)
    {
        SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone3", 5.0f);
    }
    else if(GetPlayerLampOil() == 12.5f)
    {
        SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone4", 5.0f);
    }

switch statement:

Code: (Select All)

switch (GetPlayerLampOil)
{
    case 0.0f:
       SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone1", 5.0f);
    break;
    
    case > 0.0f && <= 5.0f:
       SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone2", 5.0f);
    break;
    
    case > 5.0f && < 12.5f:
       SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone3", 5.0f);
    break;
    
    case == 12.5f:
        SetMessage("map2_messages", "OilQuestDone4", 5.0f);
    break;
}

but i always get errors. so does a case has to end with 1 or 2 etc. ?
