}

You can't have a condition inside of a case statement. You have to simply list all the cases out or embed an if statement inside the default case.

That should work, though you could also just run all the case statements together.

switch(x) {
    case 1:
        // do stuff
        break;
    case 2:
        // do stuff
        break;
    case 3:
    case 4:
    case 5:
        // do same stuff for some cases
        break;
    default:
        // do stuff
}
