4.B) Compare if..else with the switch statement
Answer:-
| IF-ELSE | SWITCH |
|---|---|
| Which statement will be executed depending upon the output of the expression inside the if statement? | Which statement will be executed is decided by user. |
| the if-else statement uses multiple statements for multiple choices. | switch statement uses a single expression for multiple choices. |
| if-else statement test for equality as well as for logical expression. | switch statement test only for equality. |
| if statement evaluates integer, character, pointer or floating-point type, or boolean type. | the switch statement evaluates only a character or integer value. |
| Either if the statement will be executed or else the statement is executed. | the switch statement executes one case after another till a break statement appears or the end of the switch statement is reached. |
| If the condition inside if statement is false, then by default the else statement is executed if created. | If the condition inside switch statements does not match with any of the cases, for that instance the default statement is executed if created. |
| It is difficult to edit the if-else statement if the nested if-else statement is used. | It is easy to edit switch cases as they are recognized easily. |
