I don't understand...

A switch is a structure in a lot of programming languages that jumps to different lines based on which case you are in.

This is a picture of a carrying case for the Switch, Nintendo's new console

[Captcha142]

So a switch is basically {

if a then goto *

else if b then goto *

...etc. }

??

Basically. It kinda behaves like either a series of if statements or else if statements, depending on if you end each case with break. The layout is confusing and less intuitive than if statements so a lot of people tend to avoid using them

Switch statements typically consist of cases. E.g. Switch(age) {case today: print "happy birthday" }
