Does anyone know?
If i used an if-else statement or a switch statement for the same problem, will it still give me the same output?
(sorry im still a newbie in C++ lol)
switch is more commonly used for multiple possible outputs. if you want 6 responses depending on input a switch is better than if x then y else if c then z else if etc etc
but if theyre both programmed correctly they can function identically, just one will be more optimized
Basically, a Switch statement is often more efficient and cleaner to read when you want to check a single value condition at a time (such as "X=1"). It can't handle comparisons to variables: it only handles comparisons to specific preset values.
Else If can do everything a **Switch **can, but is often just messier and/or less efficient if you're using it for what a Switch does do.
