* Switch case with same code for multiple values

Handle switch case when single piece of code runs for multiple values.

* removed invalid example numbering introduced in merge conflict resolution

+## Example
+
+The below code depicts how to handle switch case when single piece of code runs for multiple values.
+
+```c
+#include <stdio.h>
+
+int main()
+{
+    for (int i=1; i<=4; i++) {
+        switch (i) {
+            case 1:
+              printf("Hello World 1\n");
+              break;
+            
+            case 2:
+            case 3:
+              printf("Hello World 2 or 3\n");
+              break;
+            
+            case 4:

+              break;
+        }
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```

+## Output
+```c
+Hello World 1
+Hello World 2 or 3
+Hello World 2 or 3
+Hello World 4

 ## Nested Switch Case 
     
   Like nested if, we can use nested switch case in C programming. A switch case statement enclosed inside another switch case statement is called nested switch case. Nested switch is used at high level where we require sub conditions or cases. The inner and outer switch() case constant may be same.

 ## Review : Switch vs if else
 * Check the Testing Expression: An if-then-else statement can test expressions based on ranges of values or conditions, whereas a switch statement tests expressions based only on a single integer, enumerated value, or String object.
 * Switch better for Multi way branching: When compiler compiles a switch statement, it will inspect each of the case constants and create a “jump table” that it will use for selecting the path of execution depending on the value of the expression. Therefore, if we need to select among a large group of values, a switch statement will run much faster than the equivalent logic coded using a sequence of if-elses. The compiler can do this because it knows that the case constants are all the same type and simply must be compared for equality with the switch expression, while in case of if expressions, the compiler has no such knowledge.
