<h3 class="section">5.22 Case Ranges</h3>

<p><a name="index-case-ranges-1818"></a><a name="index-ranges-in-case-statements-1819"></a>
You can specify a range of consecutive values in a single <code>case</code> label,
like this:

<pre class="smallexample">     case <var>low</var> ... <var>high</var>:
</pre>
 <p class="noindent">This has the same effect as the proper number of individual <code>case</code>
labels, one for each integer value from <var>low</var> to <var>high</var>, inclusive.

 <p>This feature is especially useful for ranges of ASCII character codes:

<pre class="smallexample">     case 'A' ... 'Z':
</pre>
 <p><strong>Be careful:</strong> Write spaces around the <code>...</code>, for otherwise
it may be parsed wrong when you use it with integer values.  For example,
write this:

<pre class="smallexample">     case 1 ... 5:
</pre>
 <p class="noindent">rather than this:

<pre class="smallexample">     case 1...5:
</pre>
