Case statements in termux

Question

I tried this and failed. Does case statements exist in termux?

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
case in "$1"
    start)
            echo 'var1'
            ;;
    stop)
            echo 'var2'
            ;;
esac

Answer 1

Termux does indeed support case, but your syntax is incorrect. This, instead, works.

case "$1" in
 start)
  echo 'var1'
  ;;

 stop)
  echo 'var2'
  ;;
esac

Adding a blank line between the start) and stop) blocks is just a stylistic choice.
