The Switch Vs If-Else

The switch and if-else both are selection statement and they both let you select an alternative out of given many alternative by testing an expression.



Below I have Listed Some of the Difference in their operations:

The switch statement differs from the if statement in that switch can only test for equality whereas if can evaluate a relation or logical expression.

The Switch statement selects its branches by testing the values of same variable but If –else construction lets you use a series of expressions that may involve unrelated variables and complex expressions.

If Else is more versatile where as Switch label must be single value
Switch case Label must be constant , to compare two variable just use if-else

Switch is more efficient choice for code used in testing a value against a set of constant

If the Character are used in switch they are automatically changed into equivalent ASCII coding

Putimage function in c

putimage function outputs a bit image onto the screen. Declaration:- void putimage(int left, int top, void *ptr, int op); putimage puts the bit image previously saved with getimage back onto the screen, with the upper left corner of the image placed at (left, top). ptr points to the area in memory where the source image is stored. The op argument specifies a operator that controls how the color for each destination pixel on screen is computed, based on pixel already on screen and the corresponding source pixel in memory. c smiling face animation This animation using c draws a smiling face which appears at random position on screen. See output below the code, it will help you in understanding the code easily. C programming code #include<graphics.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdlib.h>   main() { int gd = DETECT, gm, area, temp1, temp2, left = 25, top = 75; void *p;   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");   setcolor(YELLOW)...

C++ Program to find the sum, difference, product and quotient of two integers

#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> void main() {   clrscr();   int x = 10;   int y = 2;   int sum, difference, product, quotient;   sum = x + y;   difference = x - y;   product = x * y;   quotient = x / y;   cout << "The sum of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << sum << "." << endl;   cout << "The difference of " << x << " & " << "y <<  is " << difference << "." << endl;   cout << "The product of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << product << "." << endl;   cout << "The quotient of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << quotient << "." << endl;   getch(); }

What are selection statements in C++ ? If and Switch

There are several statements that we can use in C++ programming that help in choosing a set of instructions for using the code depending upon an expression truth value.  What are Selection Statements in C++? As mentioned above there are several statements that we can use to choose a set of pre-defined instructions within a program in any section of the program as per the need. These are called selection statements in C++  In C++ Program there are two types of Selection statements  1. If  2. Switch  The If Statement of C++ To understand "if statement" let's look at an example.  Example - If you have 10 rupees then you can buy the chocolate.  Here, there is a condition in buying chocolate, if you have 10 rupees then only you can buy it.  This shows that the If is a condition which can be true or false, If it is false it won't be executed, in this example, if you don't have 10 rupees i.e. the condition is false you cant buy the chocolate.  So, I...
