How to return a specific value in an if statement

Question

Hi all,
Need some help regarding a report Im creating. I am a total newbie to SQL so I guess this question is really simple to all of you.
I have a column, UDF58, in a table that can have 3 different values, 10, 25 and 35.
If the value is 10 I want the formula to return 1.
If the value is 25 it should return 2 and if it is 35 the return should be 3
I tried the following:
IF :UDF58=10 THEN RETURN :UDF10='1';
I do not get any error message when compiling but it do not return any value at all....

Do not know if you are dealing with number or varchar2 column, so here are two ways -- there are others...
SQL> create table t (udf58 number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values(10);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values (25);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values(35);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select trunc(udf58/10) from t;
TRUNC(UDF58/10)
              1
              2
              3
3 rows selected.
SQL> create table a (udf58 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into a select * from t;
3 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select substr(udf58,1,1) from a;
SUBSTR(UDF
1
