For Loops - AMX NETLINX PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE Manual

NetLinx Programming Overview
The following is the structure for the
SWITCH (<expression>)
{
}

FOR loops

loops are an alternative to traditional loops. Functionally they do the same thing, but

more readable.

Only the statements associated with the first case that matches the value of the expression are
executed. Multiple statements can be stacked within the

SWITCH...CASE
All cases must be unique.
Braces should be used to bracket the statements in a case. They are required only if variables
are declared within the case.
The statement applies to the
BREAK
Unlike C and C++, cases do not fall through to the next case if a break is not used. Because of
this, statements are not required between cases.
