In addition to what RudiC said, comments can't be used as selections in a case statement.
Your 1st if statement syntax looks OK (except that the if in the then clause is missing both then and fi. All of your other if statements are also missing required bits of the grammar of if statements.
In addition to what Corona688 said, saying that you're getting syntax errors and showing us those syntax errors are two VERY different things. If you want our help, you are much more likely to get it if you help us help you. Show us exactly the diagnostic messages you're getting instead of leaving it to our imaginations.
Since there are so many syntax errors in this relatively short script; try just putting an if statement (and the variable assignments needed to make it work) in a file and debug that script until you figure out how if statements work. Then do the same thing with a case statement. For both if and case statements, print the bash man page on your system and look closely at the syntax for if statements and for case statements. If you have trouble figuring out how to make if statements work or how to make case statements work, we'll be glad to help; but don't expect us to do your homework for you.
