How do switch statements work in different programming languages?

Can you explain how switch statements work in Java?

Sure! In Java, a switch statement evaluates an expression and matches it against multiple cases. Each case can execute a block of code.

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

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

How does C++ handle switch statements?

In C++, the switch statement works similarly to Java. It evaluates an expression and executes the matching case. You can also use 'break' to exit the switch.

Are there any languages where switch statements are not recommended?

Yes, in some languages like Python, using if-elif chains is often preferred for readability and simplicity over a switch statement.
