Question - Code Do case statements require curly braces?

[ac585318]

I'm new to GMS2 and am curious... Do case statements require curly braces?

I've seen been going through tutorials and some of them are using curly braces in the case statements and some not.

I breifly read that apparently in the C programming language they are needed for declaring variables in a case statement but do they serve any similar purpose for case statements in GML? I couldn't find/see anything on this myself.

They don't, as case statements are basically curly brackets themselves.

case 0:

break;

everything that is in between case and break is run, it can also be stacked

case 0: var t = current_time; var i = 5; state = "walk"; break;

you dont need to add the { }
but if its more then one line of code its good practice to add the { }
