The switch statement - CSharp Language Basics

Introduction

switch statements let you branch program execution based on a selection of possible values.

Demo Code

using System;/*w  w  w.j  av  a2s.  c  o  m*/
class Test
{
   static void ShowCard(int cardNumber)
   {
      switch (cardNumber)
      {
         case 13:
         Console.WriteLine ("King");
         break;
         case 12:
         Console.WriteLine ("Queen");
         break;
         case 11:
         Console.WriteLine ("Jack");
         break;
         case -1:                         // Joker is -1
         goto case 12;                  // In this game joker counts as queen
         default:                         // Executes for any other cardNumber
         Console.WriteLine (cardNumber);
         break;
      }
   }
   static void Main(){
      ShowCard(13);
   }
}
