In what ways does a switch statement differ from an IF statement?

Ans: The if statement is a conditional branch, a branch to other statements if a certain condition or set of conditions is met. The condition can be logical or arithmetic.

 if (A>B)

 if else (C<D)

else j=14x7

 The switch statement (also known as a case statement) can branch to individual statements for a number of conditions or cases. it is more easily understood.

 switch case a>b... case c<d... case j=k... case else.. end
