switch case code example

Example 1: js switch case

switch(expression) {
  case x:
    // code block
    break;
  case y:
    // code block
    break;
  default:
    // code block
}

Example 2: switch javascript

switch (a) {
    case 1:
        alert('case 1 executed');
        break;
    case 2:
        alert("case 2 executed");
        break;
   case 3:
        alert("case 3 executed");
        break;
    case 4:
        alert("case 4 executed");
        break;
    default:
        alert("default case executed");
}

Example 3: c++ switch case statement

switch (n)
{
    case 1: // code to be executed if n = 1;
        break;
    case 2: // code to be executed if n = 2;
        break;
    default: // code to be executed if n doesn't match any cases
}

Example 4: javascript switch statement multiple cases

//javascript multiple case switch statement
var color = "yellow";
var darkOrLight="";
switch(color) {
    case "yellow":case "pink":case "orange":
        darkOrLight = "Light";
        break;
    case "blue":case "purple":case "brown":
        darkOrLight = "Dark";
        break;
    default:
        darkOrLight = "Unknown";
}

//darkOrLight="Light"

Example 5: switch statement in c

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  	int a = 0;
  
    switch(a)
    {
       case 1 :
          statement("a = 1");
          break;

       case 2 :
          printf("a = 2");
          break;

       default :
       	  printf("a is neither 1 or 2");
	      break;
    }
}

Example 6: switch case

# This class provides the functionality we want. You only need to look at
# this if you want to know how this works. It only needs to be defined
# once, no need to muck around with its internals.
class switch(object):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self.fall = False

    def __iter__(self):
        """Return the match method once, then stop"""
        yield self.match
        raise StopIteration
    
    def match(self, *args):
        """Indicate whether or not to enter a case suite"""
        if self.fall or not args:
            return True
        elif self.value in args: # changed for v1.5, see below
            self.fall = True
            return True
        else:
            return False


# The following example is pretty much the exact use-case of a dictionary,
# but is included for its simplicity. Note that you can include statements
# in each suite.
v = 'ten'
for case in switch(v):
    if case('one'):
        print 1
        break
    if case('two'):
        print 2
        break
    if case('ten'):
        print 10
        break
    if case('eleven'):
        print 11
        break
    if case(): # default, could also just omit condition or 'if True'
        print "something else!"
        # No need to break here, it'll stop anyway

# break is used here to look as much like the real thing as possible, but
# elif is generally just as good and more concise.

# Empty suites are considered syntax errors, so intentional fall-throughs
# should contain 'pass'
c = 'z'
for case in switch(c):
    if case('a'): pass # only necessary if the rest of the suite is empty
    if case('b'): pass
    # ...
    if case('y'): pass
    if case('z'):
        print "c is lowercase!"
        break
    if case('A'): pass
    # ...
    if case('Z'):
        print "c is uppercase!"
        break
    if case(): # default
        print "I dunno what c was!"

# As suggested by Pierre Quentel, you can even expand upon the
# functionality of the classic 'case' statement by matching multiple
# cases in a single shot. This greatly benefits operations such as the
# uppercase/lowercase example above:
import string
c = 'A'
for case in switch(c):
    if case(*string.lowercase): # note the * for unpacking as arguments
        print "c is lowercase!"
        break
    if case(*string.uppercase):
        print "c is uppercase!"
        break
    if case('!', '?', '.'): # normal argument passing style also applies
        print "c is a sentence terminator!"
        break
    if case(): # default
        print "I dunno what c was!"

# Since Pierre's suggestion is backward-compatible with the original recipe,
# I have made the necessary modification to allow for the above usage.
