Java Switch Statements

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:

switch(

) {
  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 and default keywords are optional, and will be described later in this chapter
