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

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

You should use switch-case when you have multiple discrete values to compare against a single variable. It's often cleaner and more readable.

Can you give me an example of when to use switch-case?

Sure! If you're checking the day of the week, a switch-case can handle each day more clearly than multiple if-else statements.

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Yes, switch-case can be more efficient in some languages for a large number of cases, as it may use jump tables.

What about readability? Which one is better?

Readability often depends on the context. For a few conditions, if-else might be clearer, but for many cases, switch-case is usually more organized.
