Name

select — select keyword

Description


 select expr,
   case expr1 then instructions1,
   case expr2 then instructions2,
   ...
   case exprn then instructionsn,
   [else instructions],
 end

while %t do
  n=round(10*rand(1,1))
  select n
  case 0 then 
    disp(0)

    disp(1)
  else
    break
  end
end
