Having a hell of a time trying to figure out case statements. I am 100% sure I am using the correct syntax but I am still getting errors in TOS that the value never assigned at <insert case variable>. Anyone able to see whats wrong with the code?

 
Code
input EnhancedLong = {default BasicLong, SimpleLong, AggressiveLong};
input EnhancedShort = {default BasicShort, SimpleShort, AggressiveShort};


def trLong;
switch (EnhancedLong) {
case BasicLong:
    trLong = TrendPeriods() == 1;
case SimpleLong:
    trLong = TrendQuality().TQ[0] > TrendQuality().TQ[1] or TrendQuality().TQ >= 0;
case AggressiveLong:
    trLong = TrendQuality().TQ[0] > TrendQuality().TQ[1] and TrendQuality().TQ[1] > TrendQuality().TQ[2];
}

def trShort;
switch (EnhancedShort) {
case BasicShort:
    trShort = TrendPeriods() == 1;
case SimpleShort:
    trShort = TrendQuality().TQ[0] > TrendQuality().TQ[1] or TrendQuality().TQ >= 0;
case AggressiveShort:
    trShort = TrendQuality().TQ[0] > TrendQuality().TQ[1] and TrendQuality().TQ[1] > TrendQuality().TQ[2];
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Fail on my part I had double copied the input code which was causing TOS to short circuit oops
