switch case
let value = switchCase(0); value = switchCase(32); value = switchCase(1); value = switchCase(33); value = switchCase(2); value = switchCase(34); value = switchCase(3); value = switchCase(35); value = switchCase(4);
if/else
let value = ifElse(0); value = ifElse(32); value = ifElse(1); value = ifElse(33); value = ifElse(2); value = ifElse(34); value = ifElse(3); value = ifElse(35); value = ifElse(4);
