Topic: explain me how is work (cond, While & its)

[pkohut]

cond is similar to the switch statement in C++ except for its spelling and implementation

Is it right that the switch statement can only handle integers as the test expressions though? I found that really annoying when learning C++ ...  

Being a low level language it doesn't give you the kitchen sink. It doesn't even give you a kitchen.
