stdout.nextline = "So far, this week:";
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
stdout.nextline = "day " + toString(i) + " began";
if (i == c.dayofweek)
break;
stdout.nextline = "day " + toString(i) + " ended";
}
stdout.nextline = "and here we are at:";
switch (i) {
case SUNDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Sunday";
break;
case MONDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Monday";
break;
case TUESDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Tuesday";
break;
case WEDNESDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Wednesday";
break;
case THURSDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Thursday";
break;
case FRIDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Friday";
break;
case SATURDAY:
stdout.nextline = "Saturday";
break;
default:
stdout.nextline = "in trouble!";
break;
}
yields this sort of output:
So far, this week:
day 0 began
day 0 ended
day 1 began
day 1 ended
day 2 began
day 2 ended
day 3 began
day 3 ended
day 4 began
