switch()
Programming
switch() is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function for multi-way branch. compares the switch expression against each case value. executes the first matching case block. the otherwise block runs if no case matches. unlike c, no fall-through between cases. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.
Multi-way branch. Compares the switch expression against each case value. Executes the first matching case block. The otherwise block runs if no case matches. Unlike C, no fall-through between cases.

Frequently Asked Questions about switch()
Is the switch() function free to use in SimLab?
Yes. SimLab is 100% free — no signup, no license, and no usage limits. You can run switch() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible functions directly in your browser at simulations4all.com/simlab.
Do I need to install MATLAB to use switch()?
No. SimLab runs entirely in your web browser with zero installation. The switch() function works without any MATLAB® license or software download.
What does switch() do?
Multi-way branch. Compares the switch expression against each case value. Executes the first matching case block. The otherwise block runs if no case matches. Unlike C, no fall-through between cases. It is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: switch expr case val1 ... case val2 ... otherwise ... end.
Can I run switch() in my browser?
Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls switch(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
