How to Use Switch Statement Using C++ in DEV C++

I will discuss few things here.

  • Switch statement
  • nested switch statement
  • exercises
Switch Statement:
If some one say test any variable defined for some value against different or list of values , then there switch statement makes it easy.It is just like comparison phenomenon.
It is very easy to learn from its syntax.

Syntax:

switch ( expression)
{

case constant_expression :
statements;
break;

case constant_expression :
statements;
break;
.
.
.
.
default :
statements;

}

Now the value of variable which is to be checked is place in switch 's expression , and the list of values against which the variable is to be checked defined as case expression values.

Terms used in the syntax :

Expression: Expression must be of integral or literal or class type.

Case: There may be any number of case statements you can define followed by the constant expression and colon.

Constant_expression: The data type of constant_expression defined in cases must be same as variable in the switch.It must be constant or literal.

Break: When the case value found equal to value of variable in the switch , then statements inside that case execute till the break statement.
Here the break statement is optional , No break is required by every case,the flow of control jumps to next line in the switch statement.

Default: Optional default case is also there, If no case found to be correct or equal , then for sake of convenience or for the programmer that he/she know that there is no case found to be correct.

    Example:
    Now lets take an example,i will make program for students to check their examination performance. Students will check their performance depending upon their grades they obtained form grades value A ,B and C.
    The student will enter his grade he/she obtained and he will notified about his performance

    Grade
    Performance
    A
    Excellent
    B
    Well done
    C
    Good


    Program Code:

    Output:
    After compilation and execution of above program the output  can be as follows









    Nested Switch statements

    Now if you have learnt the switch statement , you can easily learn nested switch statements from its syntax.

    Syntax

    switch()
    {
         case 1:
         statements;
                          switch()
                         {
                         case 1:
                         statements;
                         break;
                         case 2:
                        statements;
                        }
         break;
       case 2:
         statements;
    }


    C++ specifies that you  can specify at least 256 levels of nesting.

    Keep practicing on it.


    Exercises:
