Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your input. Can you briefly explain why it is necessary to encase single statement If Statements in brackets? I get that it's a global programming convention to do this, just incase you need to go back and add something else, but is there a more latent reason?

I'm definitely going to be using more Switch Statements. I guess it would be more effective to use an If Statement if you're testing one condition, or even if you're testing two (use Else If). But as soon as there's three conditions or more to be tested, I'm thinking I'll go for the Switch Statement. Is this advisable?

Thanks,
OA-OD-JD1
