Switch Case Statement

Use a switch/case statement in variables environments to make sure your variables satisfy specific constraints

  \randint{cases}{1}{3}
  \begin{switch}
 
    \begin{case}{cases=1}
      <variable definitions>
    \end{case}
 
    \begin{case}{cases=2}
      <variable definitions>
    \end{case}
 
    ...
 
    \begin{default}
      <variable definitions>
    \end{default}
 
  \end{switch}
\end{variables}

Every variable in a switch environment must have a default definition, but not a definition for every
single case environment. (see example below)
There is no limitation on how many case environments you can use inside a switch environment.
The default environment though is obligatory!
You can use switch/case statements globally and on question level.

Never use switch/case statements in combination with \randadjustIf. It is meant as an alternative.
