Summary

A switch statement selects the next statement to be executed from many possible statements. The selection is made depending on the value of a selector variable which can only be an integer or a character.
If the selector variable does not match any of the case labels then the statements associated with the default label will be executed.
The default label is optional but if it is not included then a selector which does not match any of the case labels causes the whole switch statement to be ignored.
