C Switch Statement

The statement that enables us to choose the number of alternatives is referred to as a switch.

The switch case-default statement syntax:

switch (integer expression)
{
case 1:
do this;

case 2:
do this;

case 3:
do this;

default:
do this;
}

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i = 3;

    switch (i)
    {
    case 1:
      printf("I am Statement 1");
      break;

    case 2:
      printf("I am Statement 2");
      break;

    case 3:
      printf("I am Statement 3");
      break;

    default:
      printf("I am default");
      break;
    }
    return 0;
}

Output:

I am Statement 3
