? JavaScript switch Statement

The switch statement is a control structure used to perform different actions based on different possible values of an expression. It’s an alternative to using multiple if...else if statements when comparing the same variable against different values.

Syntax

switch (expression) {  case value1:    // code to execute if expression === value1    break;  case value2:    // code to execute if expression === value2    break;  // more cases...  default:    // code to execute if no case matches}

How It Works

• The expression is evaluated once.

• Its result is compared to the values in each case (using strict equality ===).

• If a match is found, the code block under that case runs.

• The break statement prevents "fall-through" to the next case.

• If no case matches, the default block (optional) runs.

Example

let day = 3;let dayName;switch (day) {  case 1:    dayName = "Monday";    break;  case 2:    dayName = "Tuesday";    break;  case 3:    dayName = "Wednesday";    break;  case 4:    dayName = "Thursday";    break;  case 5:    dayName = "Friday";    break;  default:    dayName = "Weekend";}console.log(dayName); // Output: Wednesday

Notes

• Omitting break causes fall-through (execution continues to the next case).

• Multiple cases can share the same code:

switch (fruit) {  case 'apple':  case 'banana':    console.log("This is a common fruit.");    break;  case 'dragonfruit':    console.log("Exotic fruit!");    break;}
