thanks for your quick answer ! Then what's the advantage using such a `case` not using `if` statement given by you ?   For me, the `if` statement is more clear .

Once you have a lot of possibilities to check, if-then-else cascades become rather unreadable. However, it might then be advisable to rethink your code, perhaps introduce a choice combinator.
