Swift Switch Statement

In the previous lesson, we looked at how to control program execution flow using the if and else statements. While these statement constructs work well for testing a limited number of conditions, they quickly become unwieldy when dealing with larger numbers of possible conditions. To simplify such situations, Swift has inherited the switch statement from the C programming language.

In this lesson, we will explore the Swift implementation of the switch statement in detail.

Note: Those familiar with the switch statement from other programming languages should be aware that the Swift switch statement has some key differences from other implementations.
