?switch

For numeric arguments, the OP would need to construct a wrapper that tested for a NULL return.

[1] "default"

[1] TRUE

switchnum <- function(EXPR, ...){
+          if (!is.numeric(EXPR)) {switch(EXPR, ...)} else{
+ if (!is.null(switch(EXPR, ...))) {switch(EXPR, ...)} else{
+                   "default"} } }
> switchnum(4, b = 1, 'default')
[1] "default"

The outer test for numericity may be superfluous.

Hi,

Is there a c++ equivalent default case in the switch command?
