Switch Statements
Switch Statements
π¨βπΌ Nice! The
switch statement makes it clear we're matching one value against
several options.π¦ When to use
switch vs if/else:- Use
switchwhen comparing one value against multiple specific values - Use
if/elsewhen checking different conditions or ranges
// β
Good use of switch - matching exact values
switch (grade) {
case 'A':
return 'Excellent'
// ...
}
// β
Good use of if/else - checking ranges
if (score >= 90) {
grade = 'A'
} else if (score >= 80) {
grade = 'B'
}
The
switch statement also supports "fall-through" where multiple cases can
share the same codeβbut that's an advanced pattern we won't cover here.
