Example 2: switch statement in java

// switch case in java example programs
public class SwitchStatementExample
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      char grade = 'A';
      switch(grade) {
          case 'A' :
              System.out.println("Distinction.");
              break;
          case 'B' :
          case 'C' :
              System.out.println("First class.");
              break;
          case 'D' :
              System.out.println("You have passed.");
          case 'F' :
              System.out.println("Fail. Try again.");
              break;
          default :
              System.out.println("Invalid grade");
      }
      System.out.println("Grade is: " + grade);
   }
}

Example 3: java switch case

switch(x){
	case(0):		//if x == 0
    	//do some stuff
    	break;
    //add more cases
  default:			//when x does not match any case
    //do some stuff
    break;
}

Example 4: switch expression java

System.out.println(
        switch (day) {
            case MONDAY, FRIDAY, SUNDAY -> 6;

            case THURSDAY, SATURDAY     -> 8;
            case WEDNESDAY              -> 9;
            default -> throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid day: " + day);
        }
    );
