If you have if/else if statements comparing one variable over and over, a switch case statement may be easier for you. The layout for a java switch case statement looks like this:

switch(num) {
case 1:
//do this
break;
case 2:
//do this
break;
default:
//do this
}

Switch cases can be better in many situations, but if your code works with if else statements instead, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

This switch statement in java can be tricky at first… But SURELY you’ll get it 🙂 If you followed along, congrats! You learned-by-doing!
