switch-case construct in JavaScript
Using the switch-case
construct, you
can run different code, depending on the
value of the variable. Here is the syntax
for this construct:
switch (variable) {
case 'value1':
/*
here is the code that will be executed
if the variable has value1
*/
break;
case 'value2':
/*
here is the code that will be executed
if the variable has value2
*/
break;
case 'value3':
/*
here is the code that will be executed
if the variable has value3
*/
break;
default:
/*
here is the code that will be executed
if it does not match any value
*/
break;
}
Let's write a code example with the switch-case
construct:
let num = 1;
switch (num) {
case 1:
console.log('value1');
break;
case 2:
console.log('value2');
break;
case 3:
console.log('value3');
break;
default:
console.log('incorrect value');
break;
}
Rewrite the following code with switch-case
:
let lang = 'ru';
if (lang == 'ru') {
console.log('rus');
} else if (lang == 'en') {
console.log('eng');
} else if (lang == 'de') {
console.log('deu');
} else {
console.log('language not supported');
}
