switch Statements

 Switch case statements are a substitute for long if statements that compare a variable to several integral values

 The switch statement is a multiway branch statement. It provides an easy way to dispatch execution to different parts of code based on the value of the expression.

Switch is a control statement that allows a value to change control of execution.

Example

int main() 
{ 
int x = 2; 
switch (x) 
{ 
case 1: printf("Choice is 1"); 
break; 
case 2: printf("Choice is 2"); 
break; 
case 3: printf("Choice is 3"); 
break; 
default: printf("Choice other than 1, 2 and 3"); 
break; 
} 
return 0; 
}
