What is a switch statement in C#?

Can you explain what a switch statement is in C#?

Sure! A switch statement in C# is a control structure that allows you to execute different parts of code based on the value of a variable.

How does it differ from an if-else statement?

The main difference is that a switch statement is generally cleaner and more readable when you have multiple conditions to check against a single variable.

Can you give me an example of a switch statement?

Of course! Here's a simple example:

int day = 3;
switch (day) {
    case 1:
        Console.WriteLine("Monday");
        break;
    case 2:
        Console.WriteLine("Tuesday");
        break;
    case 3:
        Console.WriteLine("Wednesday");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine("Not a valid day");
}

What happens if I forget to include a break statement?

If you forget to include a break statement, the execution will continue to the next case, which is known as 'fall-through' behavior.
