Nested switch case

Switch-case statements:

These are a substitute for long if statements that compare a variable to several integral values

• The switch statement is a multiway branch statement. It provides an easy way to dispatch execution to different parts of code based on the value of the expression.
• Switch is a control statement that allows a value to change control of execution.

Points to remember while using Switch Case

• The expression used in a switch statement must have an integral or character type, or be of a class type in which the class has a single conversion function to an integral or character type.
• There can be any number of case statements within a switch. Each case is followed by the value to be compared to and after that a colon.
• When the variable being switched on is equal to a case, the statements following that case will execute until a break statement is reached.
• When a break statement is reached, the switch terminates, and the flow of control jumps to the next line following the switch statement.
• Not every case needs to contain a break. If no break appears, the flow of control will fall through to subsequent cases until a break is reached i.e. all the case statements will get executed as soon as compiler finds a comparison to be true.
• A switch statement can have an optional default case, which must appear at the end of the switch. The default case can be used for performing a task when none of the cases is true. No break is needed in the default case.

Syntax:

switch (n)
{
    case 1: // code to be executed if n = 1;
  break;
    case 2: // code to be executed if n = 2;
  break;
    default: // code to be executed if 
      // n doesn't match any cases
}

Nested-Switch Statement:

Nested-Switch statements refers to Switch statements inside of another Switch Statements.

Syntax:

switch(n)
{
  // code to be executed if n = 1;
  case 1: 
    
  // Nested switch
  switch(num) 
  {
    // code to be executed if num = 10
    case 10: 
      statement 1;
      break;
      
    // code to be executed if num = 20
    case 20: 
      statement 2;
      break;
      
    // code to be executed if num = 30
    case 30: 
      statement 3;
      break;
      
      // code to be executed if num 
      // doesn't match any cases
      default: 
  }
  
  
  break;
    
  // code to be executed if n = 2;
  case 2:
    statement 2;
    break;
  
  // code to be executed if n = 3;
  case 3: 
    statement 3;
    break;
  
   // code to be executed if n doesn't match any cases
   default: 
}
