The switch Statement
<![CDATA[
The general form of the switch statement is
switch(expression) {
case constant1:
statement sequence
break;
case constant2:
statement sequence
break;
case constant3:
statement sequence
break;
.
default:
statement sequence
break;
}
The switch expression must be of an integer type, such as char, byte, short, or int, or of type string .
The default statement sequence is executed if no case constant matches the expression.
The default is optional.
If default is not present, no action takes place if all matches fail.
When a match is found, the statements associated with that case are executed until the break is encountered.
