Can Switch Case statements be outside the void loop?

Hi all,

thank you for your advice so far. I am having trouble doing a "while loop". How would I write the code to make the hash key come out of the while loop?

while ('#') {
   static int number = 0;
  char key = keypad.waitForKey();
   switch(key)
   {
       case '0'...'9':
          number *= 10;
          number += key - '0';
          break;

       case 'A':
          useForCaseA(number);
          number = 0;
          break;

       case 'B':
          useForCaseB(number);
          number = 0;     
          break;

       case 'C':
          useForCaseC(number);
          number = 0;
          break;

       case 'D':
          useForCaseD(number);
          number = 0;
          break;
          
       case '*': // Set Home Position
          break;

       case '#': // Move Motors on Position and Start Test
          break;

          
   }
}
