Code Snippet

The following code snippet uses case statements over 'if' conditionals to determine what strings shall vibrate on the mandolin when struck with the appropriate keys. Through the use of case statements, I'm able to greatly reduce the amount of code needed to create this sequence as compared to an 'if' conditional.

function vibrateString(key) { //vibrate string based on location of note
  let string
  switch (key) {
    case "SHIFT": case "Z": case "X": case "C": case "V":

  
      string = document.querySelector(".string4")
      string.classList.toggle('plucked4')
      setTimeout(function () {
        string.classList.toggle("plucked4");
      }, 100);
      break

    case "B": case "N": case "M": case ",": case "B": case "N": case "M":
    case ",": case "A": case "S": case "D": case "F":

      string = document.querySelector(".string3");
      string.classList.toggle("plucked3");

      setTimeout(function () {
        string.classList.toggle("plucked3");
      }, 100);
      break;

    case "Q": case "W": case "E": case "R":
      string = document.querySelector(".string2");
      string.classList.toggle("plucked2");

      setTimeout(function () {
        string.classList.toggle("plucked2");
      }, 100);
      break


    case "1": case "2": case "3": case "4":
      string = document.querySelector(".string1");
      string.classList.toggle("plucked1");

      setTimeout(function () {
        string.classList.toggle("plucked1");
      }, 100);
      break
  }
}
