  end case ==== Description ==== The case structure allows the programmer to create a structure to test multiple conditions. Only the first true condition is executed and all of the other conditions are skipped. If there is an optional else** as the last condition this will be executed if no other conditions are met.

for t = 1 to 10
   begin case
      case t < 3
         print t + " is less than 3"
      case t < 7
         print t + " is less than 7 but 3 or larger"
      else
         print t +  " is 7 or larger"
   end case
next t
