C - Nested Switch Statements: Syntax

Nested switch statements allow a switch statement to be part of the statement sequence of an outer switch statement. Even if the inner and outer switch statements have common case values, no conflicts will arise. The syntax includes a switch within the case block of an outer switch. An example demonstrates printing messages from the inner and outer switches based on variable values.

It is possible to have a switch as part of the statement sequence of an outer switch. Even if the case constants of
the inner and outer switch contain common values, no conflicts will arise.

Syntax:
T he syntax for a nested switc h statement is as follows:

switch(ch1) {
case 'A':
printf("This A is part of outer switch" );
switch(ch2) {
case 'A':
printf("This A is part of inner switch" );
break;
case 'B': /* case code */
}
break;
case 'B': /* case code */
}

Example:
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int a = 100;
int b = 200;

switch(a) {
case 100:
printf("This is part of outer switch\n", a );
switch(b) {
case 200:
printf("This is part of inner switch\n", a );
}
}
printf("Exact value of a is : %d\n", a );
printf("Exact value of b is : %d\n", b );

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:

This is part of outer switch


This is part of inner switch
Exact value of a is : 100
Exact value of b is : 200
