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

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

You should use a switch case when you have multiple conditions based on the same variable, especially if those conditions are discrete values.

Can you give me an example of when to use it?

Sure! If you're checking a variable for specific values like days of the week, a switch case is cleaner than multiple if-else statements.

Are there any performance benefits to using switch cases?

Yes, switch cases can be more efficient than if-else chains in some languages, especially with many conditions, as they can be optimized by the compiler.

What are the limitations of using switch cases?

Switch cases can only evaluate expressions that result in a single value, and they don't support ranges or complex conditions like if-else.
