Constructor Details

#initialize(conditions, default, expression = (no_expression=true; nil)) ⇒ CaseExpression

Create an object with the given conditions and default value, and optional expression. An expression can be provided to test each condition against, instead of having all conditions represent their own boolean expression.

Raises:
