<th> </th> <th>If-else</th> <th>switch</th>
Definition Depending on the condition in the 'if' statement, 'if' and 'else' blocks are executed. The user will decide which statement is to be executed.
Expression It contains either logical or equality expression. It contains a single expression which can be either a character or integer variable.
Evaluation It evaluates all types of data, such as integer, floating-point, character or Boolean. It evaluates either an integer, or character.
Sequence of execution First, the condition is checked. If the condition is true then 'if' block is executed otherwise 'else' block It executes one case after another till the break keyword is not found, or the default statement is executed.
Default execution If the condition is not true, then by default, else block will be executed. If the value does not match with any case, then by default, default statement is executed.
Editing Editing is not easy in the 'if-else' statement. Cases in a switch statement are easy to maintain and modify. Therefore, we can say that the removal or editing of any case will not interrupt the execution of other cases.
Speed If there are multiple choices implemented through 'if-else', then the speed of the execution will be slow. If we have multiple choices then the switch statement is the best option as the speed of the execution will be much higher than 'if-else'.
