Switch Case Statement

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

  \begin{case}{<condition 1>}
    <variable definitions>
  \end{case}
 
  \begin{case}{<condition 2>}
    <variable definitions>
  \end{case}
 
  ...
 
  \begin{default}
    <variable definitions>
  \end{default}
 
\end{switch}

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.
