## Description
<section id='description'>
If you have many options to choose from, use a <code>switch</code> statement. A <code>switch</code> statement tests a value and can have many <code>case</code> statements which define various possible values. Statements are executed from the first matched <code>case</code> value until a <code>break</code> is encountered.
Here is a <dfn>pseudocode</dfn> example:
If you have many options to choose from, use a <dfn>switch</dfn> statement. A <code>switch</code> statement tests a value and can have many <dfn>case</dfn> statements which define various possible values. Statements are executed from the first matched <code>case</code> value until a <code>break</code> is encountered.
Here is an example of a <code>switch</code> statement:
```js
switch(num) {
case value1:
statement1;
switch(lowercaseLetter) {
case "a":
console.log("A");
break;
case value2:
statement2;
break;
...
case valueN:
statementN;
case "b":
console.log("B");
break;
}
```
