According to my information this statement is used for selecting the case for the execution of statements. This switch statement also works same as if-then and if-then-else statements these switch statement have numbers of possible execution paths. The switch works with the following primitive data Type byte, short, char, and int.

The following is the syntax of switch statement

int d=3;
switch(d)
{
case 1:
//do this statement 1;
break;
case 2:
//do this statement 2;
break;
case 3:
//do this statement 3;
break;
default:
//do this default statement;
