Choice with switch

A switch statement evaluates an expression and matches it against one of several case blocks. It is cleaner than a long chain of else-if statements when checking a single value.

string mood = "dreamy";
switch (mood) {
    case "neon":
        Console.WriteLine("Bright night");
        break;
    case "dreamy":
        Console.WriteLine("Soft stars");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine("Neutral sky");
        break;
}

How it reads

• switch (mood) evaluates the variable mood
• case "neon": defines a block that runs if mood equals "neon"
• break; exits the switch statement, avoiding fallthrough

Cloud tip: C# requires a control flow jump (like break, return, or throw) at the end of each non-empty case block. Case fallthrough is not allowed.
