If Else Vs Switch Case. A switch statement tests expressions based only on a single integer enumerated value or string object. Else if statement is not flexible because it does not give room for testing of a single expression against a list of discrete values.
On the other hand the expression inside a switch statement decides which case to execute. Therefore we can say that the switch statement is easy to modify and maintain. Switch case statement is flexible because it gives room for testing of a single expression against a list of discrete values.
You can have multiple if statement for multiple choice of statements.
Compared to switch if else if statement generate a better performance and code readability with fewer conditions. The most common syntax for this function is if condition thenresult defaultresult which provides the common if then else pattern seen in other programming tools. This is because checking fewer conditions is worthy than querying a separate lookup table. If else if statement with 1 5 conditions will generate a better performance than switch case with 1 5 cases.
