Can you choose more than one case ?

can you choose more than one case in a switch statement?
Or, how can you choose witch dice to keep in a dice game?
Say you roll five dice and you need to keep 3 at different places in your array of dice?

@katielynnsdad:
I understood only the first question. And the answer to that is 'yes'. It is possible to execute more than one cases in a switch statement. In the switch statement, once a case condition is met, the execution flow continues till it sees a break statement.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

switch(i)
{
     case 1:
     case 2:
                printf(" 1 or 2 ");
                break;
     case 3:
     case 4:
                printf(" 3 or 4 ");
                break;
     case 5:
     case 6:
                printf(" 5 or 6");
                break;
     default:
               printf("i is some thing other than 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.");
}

@msram:
I think what he meant was something like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

switch(i)
{
    case 1:
    case 2:
        // A
        break;
    case 1:
    case 3:
        // B
        break;
}

If i equals 1, then choose both case "A" and case "B". In general this isn't possible.
