The switch Statement

The switch statement allows you to select one of many code blocks to be executed based on the value of a variable.

snippet.c

int mode = 2;
switch (mode) {
    case 1:
        break;
    case 2:
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

Breakdown

switch (mode)

The variable to be compared against various cases.

case 1:

A label that marks a block of code to run if 'mode' equals 1.

break;

Terminates the switch block to prevent 'falling through' to the next case.
