When should I use if-else statements instead of other control structures?

Can you explain when to use if-else statements instead of switch cases?

If-else statements are best used when you have a few conditions to check, especially if they are not based on a single variable.

What about using if-else versus ternary operators?

Ternary operators are great for simple conditions and assignments, while if-else is better for more complex logic.

Are there performance differences between them?

In most cases, the performance difference is negligible, but readability is often more important than micro-optimizations.

Can you give me an example of a situation where if-else is preferred?

Sure! If you need to check multiple conditions that lead to different outcomes, like user roles in an application, if-else is clearer.
