    Switch Control Structure: Lecture #13

    Uploaded by

    hamza abbas
    The document discusses the switch control structure in C programming. It explains that switch is useful when a variable is tested for multiple values and different actions need to be taken. A switch statement consists of case labels, and optionally a default case, followed by actions. Break is used to exit each case. Same actions can be specified for multiple cases. Only integer and character values can be used in switch conditions. The document provides an example of using a switch loop to count letter grades entered by a user.

    The switch Multiple-Selection Statement


     switch
    • Useful when a variable or expression is tested for all the values it can
    assume and different actions are taken
     Format
    • Series of case labels and an optional default case
    switch ( value )
    {
    case '1':
    actions
    case '2':
    actions
    default:
    Actions
    }
     break; // exits from statement

    Same actions taken for two cases
    switch ( value ){
    case '1':
    case '2':
    actions /* one or more statements */
    break;

    case '3':
    case '4':
    actions /* one or more statements */
    break;

    default:
    actions /* one or more statements */
    break;

    Some info about switch


     Case cannot have conditions. E.g. case (x<=2)
     Switch condition cannot evaluate float values/variables
     Switch condition can only check int and char values
     Continue cannot be used in switch
     Every statement in a switch body must belong to a specific case
    otherwise it will not be executed (no compile time error though)
     Switch condition can have arithmetic expressions. E.g. switch (j + k * l)
     Case can have only constant values
     Order of the cases or default does not matter
