The switch statement is another control-flow statement that can replace multiple if statements.
const day = 2;
switch (day) {
case 1:
console.log("MONDAY");
case 2:
console.log("TUESDAY");
case 3:
console.log("WEDNESDAY");
case 4:
console.log("THURSDAY");
case 5:
console.log("FRIDAY");
}
// TUESDAY
// WEDNESDAY
// THURSDAY
// FRIDAY
Whenever there's a match, the switch executing the code from inside the case and then it keeps going and going until it hits a break.
const day = 2;
switch (day) {
case 1:
console.log("MONDAY");
break;
case 2:
console.log("TUESDAY");
break;
case 3:
console.log("WEDNESDAY");
break;
case 4:
console.log("THURSDAY");
break;
case 5:
console.log("FRIDAY");
break;
}
// TUESDAY
Default:
const day = 20;
switch (day) {
case 1:
console.log("MONDAY");
break;
case 2:
console.log("TUESDAY");
break;
case 3:
console.log("WEDNESDAY");
break;
case 4:

case 5:

case 6:
case 7:
console.log("WEEKEND!");
break;
default:
console.log("I DON'T KNOW THAT");
