The process of selecting an alternative among many alternatives is generally referred to as
multiway decision making
_____________________________________________. In a multi-way decision statement the
control is transferred to one of the many possible points. This is accomplished using the
switch
_____________________ statement or construct
LS-5

switch construct,
The value of the expression is matched with the case constants of the _____________
if a match is found then its corresponding statements are executed.
four
Switch uses ______________ reserved words such as switch, case
________________,
break
________________ default
and ________________
integer expression
The keyword switch (______________________________) identifies start of the switch statement.
case
__________ identifies individual values that are compared to the value of the switch expression.
If the expression does not match any of the case, no statement gets executed unless 
default
________________ is encountered.
break
________________ statement in a switch takes the control outside the switch. 
The limitation of a switch statement is that it can evaluate an int or char compatible values only.

/* Program to display the grade */
#include <stdio.h>
Start
main( ) {
char grade; Input LS-5
Grade
printf("Enter your grade :");
scanf("%c", &grade);
switch (grade) {
Is Grade
case 'A': ?
printf("Excellent"); A B C others
break;
case 'B': Excellent V.Good Fair Invalid
data
printf("Very Good");
break;
case 'C':
printf("Fair");
break;
default:
Here we are!!
printf("Invalid Input, enter either A,B or C”); Out of the
switch block!
}
printf (“Here we are !! Out of the switch block !”);
getch(); Stop
}

Program Explanation
▪ The variable grade is declared.
▪ scanf accepts the value for ‘grade’ from the user.
▪ Switch construct checks the given value for a match.
▪ If match is found with any one of the case statements the corresponding message is
displayed.
▪ Finally, the program comes out of the switch construct and displays the message “Here
we are !! Out of the switch block!

Result
Enter your grade: A
Excellent

Here we are !! Out of the switch block ! 

the values of the switch expression.

2. If none of the case values are matched _________________________

3. _______________________
break statement takes the control outside the switch.

4. Switch is used when a program needs to check for many conditions with _____________

________________
action to be performed for each condition.

5. Multi-way decision statement is accomplished using the _______________________

switch
construct.

6. The limitation of a switch statement is that it can evaluate an int or _____________

char
compatible values only.
