The switch-case Construct
This lesson discusses the switch-case construct in detail.
Introduction
In the last two lessons, we studied the if-else
construct. There is another control structure known as the switch-case
structure.
The keyword switch
is used instead of long if
statements that compare a variable to different values. The switch
statement is a multiway branch statement that provides an easy way to transfer flow of execution to different parts of code based on the value. The following figure explains the basic structure of the switch-case
construct.
