switch statement Javascript

switch statement Javascript Share / Like

The Javascript switch statement evaluates an argument you pass through it for a match against a specific set of values that are defined using case labels. break stops the switch statement from further processing if a match is found, if you leave it out the switch statement will keep running. default is similar to the else statement in which it is a final clause when no evaluation returns a true value.

Javascript CODE EXAMPLE

var country = "USA";

switch (country) {
    case "UK":
        document.write("UK citizens are known for being drunk.");
        break;
    case "USA":
        document.write("USA citizens are known for being dumb.");
        break;
    default:
        document.write("No match for value: "+country);
}
