Execute the same statements for several different case labels
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) { char yesNo = "N"; switch(yesNo) { case "n": case "N": System.out.println("No selected"); break; case "y": case "Y": System.out.println("Yes selected"); break; } }
}</source>
No selected
Free Flowing Switch Statement Example
<source lang="java">
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 0; switch (i) { case 0: System.out.println("i is 0"); case 1: System.out.println("i is 1"); case 2: System.out.println("i is 2"); default: System.out.println("Free flowing switch example!"); } }
} /* i is 0 i is 1 i is 2 Free flowing switch example!
- /</source>
Nested Switch Statements Example
<source lang="java">
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 0; switch (i) { case 0: int j = 1; switch (j) { case 0: System.out.println("i is 0, j is 0"); break; case 1: System.out.println("i is 0, j is 1"); break; default: System.out.println("nested default case!!"); } break; default: System.out.println("No matching case found!!"); } }
} //i is 0, j is 1</source>
Switch statement with enum
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
enum Choice { Choice1, Choice2, Choice3 } public static void main(String[] args) { Choice ch = Choice.Choice1; switch(ch) { case Choice1: System.out.println("Choice1 selected"); break; case Choice2: System.out.println("Choice2 selected"); break; case Choice3: System.out.println("Choice3 selected"); break; } }
}</source>
Choice1 selected
The switch Statement
- An alternative to a series of else if is the switch statement.
- The switch statement allows you to choose a block of statements to run from a selection of code, based on the return value of an expression.
- The expression used in the switch statement must return an int or an enumerated value.
The syntax of the switch statement is as follows.
<source lang="java">
switch (expression) { case value_1 :
statement (s); break;
case value_2 :
statement (s); break; . . .
case value_n :
statement (s); break;
default:
statement (s);
}</source>
The switch Statement: a demo
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) { int choice = 2; switch (choice) { case 1: System.out.println("Choice 1 selected"); break; case 2: System.out.println("Choice 2 selected"); break; case 3: System.out.println("Choice 3 selected"); break; default: System.out.println("Default"); break; } }
}</source>
Choice 2 selected
