Switch Case

Syntax:

switch (VARIABLE) {

case CONDITION : STATEMENT

break

case CONDITION : STATEMENT

break

case CONDITION : STATEMENT

break

default : STATEMENT

}

This has a similar function as the If condition - but it is more useful in situations when there is many possible values for the variable. Switch will evaluate one of several statements, depending on the value of a given variable. If no given value matches the variable, the default statement is executed.

alert("What I Learned In College...")
//Please change the subject ;-)
var subject = "Deep Thoughts"

switch (subject) {
case "Deep Thoughts" : alert("On Deep thoughts : A day without sunshine is like night.");
break;
case "Problem Solving" : alert("On Problem Solving : When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail. - Abraham Maslow")
break;
case "Materialism" : alert("On Materialism : He who dies with the most toys, is, nonetheless, still dead.")
break;
case "Infinity" : alert("On Infinity : If you had everything, where would you keep it?")
break;
case "Economics" : alert("On Economics : The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.")
break;
case "Revisionist History" : alert("On Revisionist History : What was sliced bread the greatest thing since?")
break;
case "Literature" : alert("On Literature : This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly.  It should be thrown with great force. - Dorothy Parker")
break;
case "Humility" : alert("On Humility : To err is human, to moo bovine.")
break;
case "Excuses" : alert("On Excuses : I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. - Joe Walsh")
break;
case "Numbers" : alert("On Numbers : 2 is not equal to 3 - not even for very large values of 2.")
break;
default:alert("I learnt nothing in college");
}
