Switch statement multiple case choises

[Stewe Lundin]

If intMonth = 2, 4 or 1 this works just fine but as soon as the value is any other between 3 and 12   exception or 4 the switch statement returns default value of lastday which is 0

Usually this would work and I have used similar code in other switch/case statements elsewhere.

Any suggestions?

Of-course I can use an If/else if statement but this is now a matter of principals.

switch(intMonth){
         case 2:
                   lastday = 28;
                   break;
         case 4|6|9|11:
                   lastday = 30;
                   break;
         case 1|3|5|7|8|10|12:
                   lastday = 31;
}

Try the below

case 4:

case 6:

case 9:

case 11:  

lastday = 30;

break;

Stewe,

Shouldn't you use a "||" for a OR condition?

[Stewe Lundin]

No both || and | gives the same problem.

And I have built similar switch case statements with | and they have worked fine but that is outside of Service Now.

Yes, just figured that out as well. This works though:

var intMonth = 6;
var lastday;

switch(intMonth){   
         case 2:   
                   lastday = 28;   
                   break;   
         case 4: case 6: case 9: case 11:   
                   lastday = 30;   
                   break;   
         case 1: case   3: case 5: case 7: case 8: case 10: case 12:   
                   lastday = 31;   
         default:
                   lastday = 1;
}   

gs.print(lastday);

Gives me:
