My first switch statement

Former Member

Im trying to use a switch statement to jump to a different function.  All of the lessons I find just tell me how to turn on leds or outputs.  So I have no idea of what to do here.  So far I have this.

 

 

{

int range;     // I just used this cause it was in an example, I think I need it to name my switch statement. 

int flasha;  //  This is the subroutine I want to run.  I will have more late just trying to figure out the first one.

switch(range);

{

case 0:  //  I don't know why I have  to use "0"  it is just in all of the examples and nothing else works.

state==1, flasha;  // state is my input.  When a button is pressed it will count the number of presses and send it to the approiate subroutine.

break:

}

}

 

When I compile this program I get the error

 

case label '0' not within a switch staetment.

 

Can anyone explain what this means or what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks

    Well guys I tried both of you solutions and goot the same result.  And that is the same thing I had before.  It almost acts as if it doesn't even see that line of code.

    I only see you changing buttonst in this line:

        buttonst=digitalRead(8);

     

    With that it can only ever be HIGH or LOW, so it won't ever be 10 or more.

     

    If you're trying to increment buttonst with each keypress then you'd have to change your code to detect a button press (debounced so you don't interpret a single press as mutiple presses), and then increment buttonst by just 1.

     

    Also, this code:

    if (buttonst==HIGH)

        {//open state count

      

        if (buttonst==10)buttonst==0;                    RIGHT HERE

     

    you only enter the if... statement if buttonst is "HIGH", which is defined as a single value (probably just 1). Then right after that you check if it's 10. So it will never enter the "right here" statement because it will never be both of those separate values.

     

    Perhaps instead of buttonst you meant to use a separate counting variable like buttonCount ?
