Question

In Python one can use the ‘pass’ statement to do nothing:

if true:
    pass

Is there a similar statement in coffeescript?
I’m trying to do a switch statement and do nothing if certain conditions are met.

switch variable:
  when 5 then pass
  else do variable

Answer 1

i’m a happy user of

switch x
  when 1
   null
  when 2
   y = 3
  else
   y = 4

since null is already in the language and does semantically transport that meaning of ‘nothing’.
