# Condition Operator

The Condition node is like a switch that has two or more states. You can add any number of states to the node by adding a port for each state from the Inputs menu. The Switch value determines which state the node outputs. For example, if Switch is set to **0**, the node outputs the first (i.e. topmost) state. If Switch is set to **1**, the node outputs the second state and so on. Once the Switch value reaches the last state, adding 1 to the Switch value loops back to the first state. Thus you can keep raising the Switch value to cycle through the values one by one in a loop — useful if you want to pass a repeating sequence of values to another node or an XGroup. Choose the Condition node's data type in the **Attribute Manager**.
