The Case Control
Structure

• The switch statement allows us to


execute one code block among many
alternatives.

• You can do the same thing with the


if...else..if ladder. However, the syntax of
the switch statement is much easier to
read and write.

How does the switch
statement work?
• The expression is evaluated once and
compared with the values of each case label.

• If there is a match, the corresponding


statements after the matching label are
executed. For example, if the value of the
expression is equal to constant2, statements
after case constant2: are executed until break
is encountered.

• If there is no match, the default statements are


executed.
