Difference between switch - case and if - else is
we can't compare variables.
in the if - else, first the condition is verified,then it
comes to else whereas in the switch - case first it checks
the cases and then it switches to that particular case.

Though both are Braching statements,The selection of
statement is depending on developers.for simple
comparisions,there is no need to SWITCH statement.switch
statement will not use to compare floating,String and
logical expressions.
we can also use switch statement to somple
comparisons ,though it not fair as following segments :
switch(a>b)
{
case 0 :
max=a;
break;
case 1 :
max=b;
break;
}
I want to conclude that if...else structure is more
flexible and reliable than switch statement.

Answer / nilesh dinakr
In IF STATEMENT, we can build the logical conditin i.e.
usinf realtional operator but in SWITCH, we can use the
expression which yield int or char value but not float.
char value will be auoto typecast to int. shortly , switch
works only one int

IF ELSE- First the condition is verified, then it comes to the else part.
SWITCH CASE- First it checks the cases and then it switches to that particular case.
IF ELSE- It implements like binary search.
SWITCH CASE-

Switch Case is used when you want to check whether a
