switch statement

switch statement:

Syntax :

  switch(value/variable/expression)

   {

                           break;

      case value2 : statements

                           break;

       default :

                           statements

A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values. Each value is called a case, and the variable being switched on is checked for each switch case.
