A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values. Each value is called a case, and the variable being switched on is checked for each switch case.

What do you mean by switch statement?

In computer programming languages, a switch statement is a type of selection control mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or expression to change the control flow of program execution via search and map.

Why do we use break in switch statement?

In switch case, the break statement is used to terminate the switch case. Basically it is used to execute the statements of a single case statement. If no break appears, the flow of control will fall through all the subsequent cases until a break is reached or the closing curly brace ‘}’ is reached.
