Subject: Case statements - Just beautification

I just want to clarify case statements the name after the word case is
this just for beautification and to help with code readability? What
purpose does it serve.

So in my code its "winunit" and matz's code its "birthyear".

# Method 1 - Confident - assign range
# number -> number
def pricerange(x)
puts "Enter the quoted price: "
x = gets.chomp
winalloc = case winunit
  when x == (1.50...2.50) then ...
  when x == (2.50...3.80) then ...
  when x == (3.80...5.50) then ...
  else something
end

# Case expression tests ranges with ===
generation = case birthyear
             when 1946..1963: "Baby Boomer"
             when 1964..1976: "Generation X"
             when 1978..2000: "Generation Y"
             else nil
             end
