Switch Statement

The Switch statement works as a jumping statement where the control is transferred to a
specifi c case as per the given switch value. Each case ends with a break statement which acts
as a terminator and the control comes out of block. It also includes a default statement which
is executed only when the switch value doesn’t match the cases.

Let’s understand the Switch statement with the syntax and an example.
