If Versus Switch
Question:
If the same thing can be accomplished with an "If" statement as a "Switch", is there a
benefit by using "Switch"? Which is best?
Answer:
If you have many items to select from, the 'Switch' statement will run faster. If you set up
an example and step through the statements, you'll see that with the 'If' statements, every
line is processed. With the 'Switch' statement, it will only process the statements that fit
the criteria.
If I have over 3 'If Then' statements, I try to use a Switch instead, to help keep the
code cleaner.
