[Year 12 SofDev] A question

[Mark Kelly]

In the CASE statement in Visual Basic, if more than one case is true 
only one (the first) case is evaluated.

So in the following example, only the message "A<6" appears even though 
the second and third cases are also true.

A=3
SELECT CASE A
	CASE <6: MSGBOX "A<6"
	CASE 3 : MSGBOX "A=3"
	CASE >0: MSGBOX "A>0"
END SELECT

I'm curious if this is the standard behaviour in every language's 
implementation of the CASE statement.

One of my students made a clever, but probably wrong, answer to VITTA SD 
exam 2, Q10c.

Regards
Mark

all the money they need and the Air Force has to run a chook raffle to 
buy a new bomber.
