What are the differences between if-else and switch statements?

Can you explain the differences between if-else and switch statements?

Sure! Both if-else and switch statements are used for conditional execution, but they have different use cases.

When should I use a switch statement instead of if-else?

Use a switch statement when you have multiple discrete values to compare against a single variable. It's cleaner and more readable.

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Yes, in some cases, switch statements can be more efficient than if-else chains, especially with many conditions.

Can you give me an example of both?

Absolutely! For if-else, you might check conditions like this: if (x > 10) {...} else {...}. For switch, it looks like: switch(x) { case 1: ...; break; }.
