If else and switch case both are used to control the flow of program.
Horses and lions share many similarities. For instance, both species have strong, powerful limbs and big teeth. They also both have long tails and can both be found in the wild and in captivity.
there are not many similarities, except the if and else statements, loops, etc... but PHP talks to the server, JavaScript can't. That's why both languages have totally different functions. If you only use basic JavaScript, PHP doesn't differ too much.
Both were pyschoanalyst who believed a person would go through stages at a specific age in their lives. The way a person adapted to these stages would determine how they would develope as a adult.
The prime meridian is zero degrees longditude - the equator is zero degrees latitude. They intersect at a point in the Gulf of Guinea - to the west of the island of Sao Tome and Principe, which is west of Gabon in Africa
So, you like, think of an explanation for why they may or may not be related to each other, and then you like, uh.... Explain to someone else why they happen to be similiarate
A Switch statement can be considered as a series of if. else if. else statements. whatever condition is satisfied, the code block would get executed. if (cond 1) { } else if (cond 2) { } else if (cond 3) { } ...... } else if (cond N) { } else { } switch { case 1: .... case 2: .... .... case N: ... default: ... } Difference: In the if else blocks, if one condition is satisfied, all other blocks are ignored In Switch blocks, unless you have break statements inside each condition block, the subsequent blocks would not be ignored.
Switch Case is used when you want to check whether a certain variable is equal to a set of particular values and theres a different task to do for each value. If-then-else is can be used to check for anything, including a range of values and perform a specific task if the condition is met. For eg: switch(c) { case(1): task1(); break; case(2): task2(); break; case(3): task3(); break; default: task9(); break; } if(c>=1 && c<=9) task1(); else task2(); Note: You cannot use >= or <= in switch case.
if else and switch case satements
If else can have values based on constraints, where as switch case can have values based on user choice.In if else, first condition is verified, then it comes to else whereas in the switch case first it cheaks the case and then it switches to that particular case.
The default case in a switch statement will be activated if none of the other case values match. It is used exactly for this purpose - if nothing else matches in the switch then this one will always match.Without a default case value, if nothing matched in the switch then nothing will be done. Sometimes it is necessary to know that nothing matched.
An else statement is comparing to items, while a switch statement is used to compare multiple items. So if you need multiple results from one statement use a switch but for booleans or very specific functions use a if else statement. Else If ex. if(a=6){System.out.println("It is six");} else(){System.out.println("It is not six");} Switch ex. switch(a){ case 1: System.out.println("it is one"); break; case 2: System.out.println("it is two"); break; default: System.out.println("it is not one or two"); break; } Basically a switch is a good way to check against a lot of possibilities.
both of these men were amazing leaders or else they would not have had children together
switch(ch) { case '+': ....cout <<"arithmetic operator"; ....break; //<===break is a must /// <====================other cases . . default: // <=======else }
Old: if (condition) stmt1; else stmt2; New: int cc = (condition)!=0; switch (cc) { case 1: stmt1; break; case 0: stmt2; break; }
There is no difference between switch and if-else. A modern optimizing compiler should be able to generate the same code in both cases.
1. Switch/case structures yield cleaner, more maintainable code than equivalent nested if..else statements. 2. With if...else statements, the programmer must put the most likely cases first. With switch/case structure, the order of the cases is immaterial. 3. The default switch/case label can be placed anywhere. With if...else, the default must be placed last. 4. Where multiple cases contains common (duplicate) code, omitting the break statement allows execution to fall through to the common code. With if...else, the common code must be duplicated. 5. Switch/case is as fast if not faster than equivalent nested if...else statements. However, modern compilers can optimise nested if...else statements into an equivalent switch/case structure wherever appropriate, thus the speed advantage is much less of a concern these days. Whenever you have the option of using one or the other, use switch/case if only to make code more readable. However, there will be cases where an if...else may be more readable. For instance, consider the following examples: void f (const char c) { if (c>='a' && c<='z') {} else if (c>='A' && c<='Z') {} else if (c>='0' && c<='9') {} else {} } void g (const char c) { switch (c) { case 'a': case 'b': ... case 'y': case 'z': {} break; case 'A': case 'B': ... case 'Y': case 'Z': {} break; case '0': case '1': ... case '8': case '9': {} break; default: {} } } Typing out all the cases in function g would obviously be tiresome and error prone compared to the succinct statements of function f. However, a good compiler will generate the same code regardless of which function you use, so the choice is simply one of which is the most readable.
The if statement is used to select among two alternatives. It uses a boolean expression todecide which alternative should be executed. The switch statement is used to select among multiple alternatives. It uses an int expression to determine which alternativeshould be executed.
