C++ switch Statements :

The switch Statement :

C++ provides a multiple branch selection statement know as switch. This selection statement successively tested the value of an expression against a list of integer or character constants. When match is found, the statements associated with that constant are executed.

Syntax :

  1. switch(variable)
  2. {
  3. case 1:
  4. //execute your code
  5. break;
  7. case n:
  8. //execute your code
  9. break;
  11. default:
  12. {
  13. //execute your code
  14. }

Example :

  1. /* Description: Simple switch statement program in C++ language */
  3. #include<iostream>
  4. using namespace std;
  6. int main()
  7. {
  8. int a;
  9. cout << " Please enter a no between 1 and 5: " << endl;
  10. cin >> a;
  12. switch(a)
  13. {
  14. case 1:
  15. cout << " You chose One" << endl;
  16. break;
  18. case 2:
  19. cout << " You chose Two" << endl;
  20. break;
  22. case 3:
  23. cout << " You chose Three" << endl;
  24. break;
  26. case 4:
  27. cout << " You chose Four" << endl;
  28. break;
  30. case 5:
  31. cout << " You chose Five" << endl;
  32. break;
  34. default :
  35. cout << "Invalid Choice. Enter a no between 1 and 5" << endl;
  36. break;
  37. }
  38. }

Output :
