In what ways will a switch will be worthy as a alternate to nested if ??.

Question

Is switch a real replacement to nested if ?.

Answer 1

There are three important things to know about the switch statement:

• The switch differs from the if in that switch can only test for equality, whereas if can evaluate any type of relational or logical expression.

• No two case constants in the same switch can have identical values.
Of course, a switch statement enclosed by an outer switch may have case constants that are the same.

• If character constants are used in the switch statement, they are automatically converted to integers.

Answer 2

Switch may be more readable, rather than having a really large if-else-chain with just equality checks, but in my opinion, switch isn't that important, you'll be fine using if statements

Answer 3

No, it isn't. Although it has a really awkward syntax

Answer 4

No, switch can only test if a value equals to something, it can't do comparison.

Answer 5

Is that possible to implement the following code using switch

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int score = 89;

if (score >= 90)
printf("%s", "Top 10% \n");
else if (score >= 80)
printf("%s", "Top 20% \n");
else if (score > 75)
printf("%s", "You passed.\n");
else
printf("%s", "You did not pass.\n");
}

Answer 6

So... switch is aint a TOTAL replacement to if else if.
