Thanks for the responses.
Yes, the nested if/else seems more clear in the above short example.
Now I wonder about the original author's motivation for
the use of switch statement. Code clarity, optimization, idiomatics?
Somehow the code seems easier for me to read with the use of the
switch simply because of the length of the intervening code.
