Switch case?

Can a logical AND be used to put the values in brackets for use with an if statement somewhat like below?

if (distance<= 10) strg = "far away"; 
if (distance >10 && distance =<50) strg = "within sight";
if (distance >50 && distance =<100) strg = "slow down";
if (distance >100 && distance =<200) strg = "almost there";
if (distance >200) strg = "stop!";
