[Scilab-users] Question on switch

[Federico Miyara]

Dear Samuel,

OK, very clear. I have added some comments there.

Now I'm curious why the "then" keyword has been included in Scilab (but 
allowed to leave it out).

In my opinion it is an unnecessary addition to the select case construct 
from other languages such as Fortran.

Regards,

Federico
