Switch Statements

Switch Statements

Switch statements execute blocks of code based on the value of a condition.

Syntax:

switch(x) {
  case 1:
    statement1;
    break;
   case 2:
     statement2;
     break;
   default:
     defaultstatement;
}

In the above example, x is the condition. The statements following the case that matches will be executed. If there are no matches, the default statement(s) will be run.

The break keyword is used to end each case.
