1 SWITCH STATEMENT
Instead of writing many if..else statements, you can use
the switch statement.
The switch statement selects one of many code blocks to be executed:

Syntax
switch (expression) {
case x:
// code block
break;
case y:
// code block
break;
default:
// code block
}
This is how it works:

 The switch expression is evaluated once


 The value of the expression is compared with the values of
each case
 If there is a match, the associated block of code is executed
 The break statement breaks out of the switch block and stops
the execution
 The default statement is optional, and specifies some code to
run if there is no case match
The example below uses the weekday number to calculate the weekday
name:
Example
int day = 4;

switch (day) {
case 1:
printf("Monday");
break;
case 2:
printf("Tuesday");
break;
case 3:
printf("Wednesday");
break;
case 4:
printf("Thursday");
break;
case 5:
printf("Friday");
break;
case 6:
printf("Saturday");
break;
case 7:
printf("Sunday");
break;
}

// Outputs "Thursday" (day 4)

2 THE BREAK KEYWORD


When C reaches a break keyword, it breaks out of the switch block.
This will stop the execution of more code and case testing inside the block.
When a match is found, and the job is done, it's time for a
break. There is no need for more testing.
A break can save a lot of execution time because it "ignores" the execution
of all the rest of the code in the switch block.

3 THE DEFAULT KEYWORD


The default keyword specifies some code to run if there is no case match:

Example
int day = 4;

switch (day) {
case 6:
printf("Today is Saturday");
break;
case 7:
printf("Today is Sunday");
break;
default:
printf("Looking forward to the Weekend");
}

// Outputs "Looking forward to the Weekend"


Note: The default keyword must be used as the last statement in the switch,
and it does not need a break.es
4 EXERCISE:
Insert the missing parts to complete the following switch statement:

int day = 2;
switch () {
1:
printf("Monday");
;
2:
printf("Sunday");
;
}
