Description
Select Case executes one of several statement blocks depending upon the value of an expres-
sion. The test-expression must evaluate to a numeric or floating-point value. There may be as
many Cases in the Select Case statement as you want. There can only be one Case Else and
it must be the last case in the sequence. The Case Else statement block is executed if all other
tests fail.
Select Case statements where the expression-lists are integer constants are executed more
quickly at run-time.

This example prints out information about the numbers between 1 and 20.
