SWITCH STATEMENT

WHAT IS A SWITCH STATEMENT?

❖ Switch statements are another way of handling decision making in your program.

❖ Switch statements work just like if-else statements.

❖ The reason when they are used is when you have a bunch of if else if statements and it becomes
difficult to read then you it change your code to use Switch statements.

❖ A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.

❖ It is a multiple choice selection statement.

❖ It will be executed according to user choice.
