In JavaScript, a case switch is a control statement that is used to execute different code depending on the value of a given expression. A case switch uses the switch
keyword followed by an expression to evaluate, and a series of case
and default
statements to specify the code to be executed for each possible value of the expression.
Here is an example of how a case switch works in JavaScript:
// Define a variable and assign a value
var color = 'red';
// Use a case switch to handle different values of the variable
switch (color) {
case 'red':
console.log('The color is red');
break;
case 'blue':
console.log('The color is blue');
break;
case 'green':
console.log('The color is green');
break;
default:
console.log('The color is unknown');
}
In this example, we are defining a variable and assigning it a value. We are then using a case switch to handle different values of the variable. The case switch uses the switch
keyword followed by the variable as the expression to evaluate.
The case switch includes a series of case
and default
statements to specify the code to be executed for each possible value of the expression. In this example, there are case
statements for the values 'red'
, 'blue'
, and 'green'
. There is also a default
statement to handle any values that are not explicitly specified in a case
statement.
When the code is executed, the case switch will evaluate the value of the color
variable and execute the code in the corresponding case
statement. In this example, the value of the color
variable is 'red'
, so the code in the case 'red':
statement is executed and a message is logged to the console.
This shows how we can use a case switch to execute different code based on the value of an expression in JavaScript.
