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;
  6. case n:
  7. //execute your code
  8. break;
  9. default:
  10. {
  11. //execute your code
  12. }

Example :

  1. /* Description: Simple switch statement program in C++ language */
  2. #include<iostream>
  3. using namespace std;
  4. int main()
  5. {
  6. int a;
  7. cout << " Please enter a no between 1 and 5: " << endl;
  8. cin >> a;
  9. switch(a)
  10. {
  11. case 1:
  12. cout << " You chose One" << endl;
  13. break;
  14. case 2:
  15. cout << " You chose Two" << endl;
  16. break;
  17. case 3:
  18. cout << " You chose Three" << endl;
  19. break;
  20. case 4:
  21. cout << " You chose Four" << endl;
  22. break;
  23. case 5:
  24. cout << " You chose Five" << endl;
  25. break;
  26. default :
  27. cout << "Invalid Choice. Enter a no between 1 and 5" << endl;
  28. break;
  29. }
  30. }
