Switch statement is used to execute different set of statements according to different values of a single variable or an expression.
It is a conditional statement and used for decision making when we have multiple options. it is an alternative of ladder if-else.
Each condition is specified with ‘case’ and each case can have a break statement.
‘break’ is used to exit form case.
Multiple cases can have a single ‘break’ statement.
when none of the case is satisfied then ‘default’ block is executed.
It is similar to ladder if-else
