Case/switch statements and loop constructs

Besides if and else statements, Bash offers case or switch statements and loop constructs that can be used to simplify logic so that it is more readable and sustainable. Imagine creating an if statement with many elif evaluations. It would become cumbersome!

#!/bin/bash
VAR=10

# Multiple IF statements
if [ $VAR -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "$VAR"
elif [ $VAR -eq 2]; then
    echo "$VAR"
elif [ $VAR -eq 3]; then
    echo "$VAR"
# .... to 10
else
    echo "I am not looking to match this value"
fi
