What are switch-case statements and how do they work in different programming languages?

Can you explain what switch-case statements are?

Sure! Switch-case statements are control flow statements that allow you to execute different parts of code based on the value of a variable.

How do switch-case statements work in Java?

In Java, a switch-case statement evaluates an expression and matches it against multiple case values. If a match is found, the corresponding block of code executes.

What about in Python? I heard it doesn't have a switch-case statement.

That's correct! Python doesn't have a built-in switch-case statement, but you can achieve similar functionality using dictionaries or if-elif-else statements.

Can you give me an example of a switch-case in JavaScript?

Certainly! In JavaScript, a switch-case looks like this:

switch(expression) {
  case value1:
    // code block
    break;
  case value2:
    // code block
    break;
  default:
    // code block
}
