is there a way to 'for loop' switch? Trying to set up 50+ boolean toggles for the keyboard

rmaskey

Is this is possible without writing out the switch command for every key...?

the below is an example of what im trying to achieve but I get an error when I change the 'case' for 108 to m....

in this example pressing the 'l' key toggles true or false and prints this

boolean keyT[] = new boolean [128];
void draw() {
}
void keyPressed() {
  int m = key;
  switch(m) {
  case 108:
    keyT[m] = !keyT[m];
    println(keyT[m], m);
    break;
  }
}

cheers Rich

Just use a for loop and skip the switch statement.

for( int i = 0; i < 128; i++){
  if( m == i ){
    keyT[i] = !keyT[i];
  }
}

If you want to treat each key as a switch, you might also be interested in this boolean toggle keyboard that uses a HashMap:

In tfguy Solution the for loop is not necessary just use m as index for array
