What is a switch statement in Go?

Can you explain what a switch statement is in Go?

Sure! A switch statement in Go allows you to execute different parts of code based on the value of a variable.

How does it differ from an if-else statement?

While both can be used for conditional execution, a switch statement is often cleaner and more readable for multiple conditions.

Can you provide a simple example of a switch statement?

Of course! Here's a basic example:

switch day := "Monday" {
case "Monday":
    fmt.Println("Start of the week")
case "Friday":
    fmt.Println("End of the week")
default:
    fmt.Println("Midweek")
}

What happens if none of the cases match?

If none of the cases match, the code in the default case will execute, if it exists.
