what is the different between if-else and switch statment (other than syntax)..

Answer / mohemmed bilal

main difference between both statement is that we can only
use switch for one variable eg
switch(x)
{
case 1://do this;
case 2://do this;
case 3://do this;
}
while in if else we can use multiple condition like
if(x==0&&y==0)
{
printf("");
}
else if(x==1&&y==0)
{
printf("");
}
