    This document contains a lecture on switch statements in C++. It defines switch statements as a way to handle multiple branches based on the value of one variable. The syntax for switch statements is explained, including the use of case labels and break statements. Examples are provided to demonstrate how switch statements can be used to print weekdays, find maximum values, and check for vowels/consonants. Practice problems are given at the end to write programs using both switch statements and if-else statements.

    Deitel, Eighth Edition
    Switch Statement
    • Switch case statements are a substitute for long “if
    statements” that compare a variable to several integral
    values
     The switch statement is convenient for handling
    multiple branches based on the value of one decision
    variable
    − The program looks at the value of the decision
    variable
    − The program jumps directly to the matching case
    label
    − The statements following the case label are
    executed

    Syntax

    • switch ( decision variable )


    • {
    • case value1 :
    • // Statements to execute if variable equals value1
    • break;
    • case value2:
    • // Statements to execute if variable equals value2
    • break;
    • ...
    • default:
    • // Statements to execute if variable not equal to any value
    • }

    Syntax Description
    • The expression provided in the switch should result in a constant
    value otherwise it would not be valid.

    • Duplicate case values are not allowed.

    • The default statement is optional. Even if the switch case


    statement do not have a default statement,
    it would run without any problem.

    • The break statement is used inside the switch to terminate a


    statement sequence. When a break statement is reached, the
    switch terminates, and the flow of control jumps to the next line
    following the switch statement.

    • The break statement is optional. If omitted, execution will continue


    on into the next case. The flow of control will fall through to
    subsequent cases until a break is reached.

    Practice Questions
    Solve all of these questions using both switch statement and if-else statement

    Q#01:
    Write a program that accepts the code number as an input and display the correct disk drive
    manufactures as follows:
    • Code Disk drive manufacture
    • 1 Western Digital
    • 2 3G Corporation
    • 3 Maxell Corporation
    • 4 Sony Corporation
    • 5 Verbatim Corporation
    Q#02:

    • A for Adventure movies
    • C for Comedy movies
    • F for Family movies
    • H for Horror movies
    • S for Science fiction movies
    • The program inputs code for movie type and displays its category. For example if the user enter H,
    it displays “Horror movies”. The program should also display a menu of movie categories.
