Switch case can I use a range instead of a one number

Question

I'd like to utilise switch, but I have a lot of cases; is there a way to save time? So far, the only remedy I've come across that I've attempted is:

switch (number)
{
case 1: something; break;
case 2: other thing; break;
...
case 9: .........; break;
}

I'm aiming to be able to do something along the lines of:

switch (number)
{
case (1 to 4): do the same for all of them; break;
case (5 to 9): again, same thing for these numbers; break;
}

Answer 1

To categorise your switch circumstances, I would use ternary operators.

switch( number > 9 ? "High" :
        number > 5 ? "Mid" :
        number > 1 ? "Low" : "Floor")
        {
              case "High":
                    do the thing;
                    break;
               case "Mid":
                    do the other thing;
                    break;
               case "Low":
                    do something else;
                    break;
               case "Floor":
                    do whatever;
                    break;
         }
