@user1794469 - in this specific code I prefer the syntactic sugar of case statements. ;;& is the perfect solution here.

@user1794469 ah yes that would be the behavior with ;& I think

@user1794469 isn't that exactly what ;;& does?

Why not just use a series of ifs that's basically all a case statement is, just syntactic sugar to make a bunch of if or ifelse look nicer.
