How to use greater than or equal in a switch statement

if-statement, java, switch-statement

Solution

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but you could do it this way:

int var1;
int var2;

int signum = Long.signum((long)var1 - var2);
switch(signum) {
    case -1: break;
    case 0: break;
    case 1: break;
}

Problem

What is the best way to check if variable is bigger than some number using switch statement? Or you reccomend to use if-else? I found such an example: ``` int i; if(var1>var2) i = 1; if(var1=var2 i = 0; if(var1<var2) i = -1; switch (i); { case -1: do stuff; break; case 0: do stuff; break; case 1: do stuff; break; } ``` What can you tell a novice about using "greater than or equal" in switch statements?
