What is the difference between if-else and switch statements?

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

Sure! If-else statements are used for conditional branching, while switch statements are used for multiple possible execution paths based on a single variable.

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

You should use a switch statement when you have multiple conditions based on the same variable, as it can be more readable and efficient.

Are there any limitations to using switch statements?

Yes, switch statements can only evaluate expressions that result in a single value, and they typically work with integers, characters, or strings.

Can you give me an example of both?

Certainly! For if-else, you might check if a number is positive or negative. For switch, you could use it to execute different actions based on a day of the week.
