$IFCASE
: n-way conditionalThis primitive built-in behaves like TeX’s ‘\ifcase’ command. The syntax is
$IFCASE(expr, case-0, case-1, ...,case-n-1, default)
If expr reduces to an integer between 0 and n-1, inclusively, the appropriate case is selected; otherwise, the default case is selected.
As examples,
$IFCASE(2, zero, one, two, default) => `two' $IFCASE(2, zero, one, three) => `three' $IFCASE(2, zero, one) => `one'
