The case ... select structure can be used to select one out of many possible
outcomes in a process. In the following example, the function Area calculates the
area of different open-channel cross-sections based on a selection performed by the
user:
function [] = Area()

disp("Open channel area calculation")
disp("=============================")
disp("Select an option:")
disp(" 1 - Trapezoidal")
disp(" 2 - Rectangular")
disp(" 3 - Triangular")
disp(" 4 - Circular")
disp("=============================")

select itype,
case 1 then
id = "trapezoidal"
b = input("Enter bottom width:")
z = input("Enter side slope:")
y = input("Flow depth:")
A = (b+z*y)*y
case 2 then
id = "rectangular"
b = input("Enter bottom width:")
z = input("Enter side slope:")
y = input("Flow depth:")
A = (b+z*y)*y
case 3 then
id = "triangular"
b = input("Enter bottom width:")
z = input("Enter side slope:")
y = input("Flow depth:")
A = (b+z*y)*y
