How to implement switch statement in JavaScript?

| | JavaScript

In this article we will discuss implementing switch statement. The switch statement is used to perform different actions based on different condition. In order to improve the readability of a program multiple if else statements can be replaced with a switch statement.

Syntax:

switch(expression) {
        case n:
           // code block
            break;
        case n:
           // code block
            break;
        default:
        default // code block
    }

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">
 
    var input = Number(prompt("Please enter a number", ""));

    switch (input)
    {
        case 1:
       alert("You have entered One");
            break;
        case 2:
         alert("You have entered Two");
            break;
        case 3:
alert("You have entered Three");
            break;
        default:
       alert("Your have to enter number between 1 and 3");
            break;
    }

  </script>

 

Output:

prompt in javascript

user input

output for the input
