Answer / mohemmed bilal
main difference between both statement is that we can only
use switch for one variable eg
switch(x)
{
case 1://do this;
case 2://do this;
case 3://do this;
}
while in if else we can use multiple condition like
if(x==0&&y==0)
{
printf("");
}
else if(x==1&&y==0)
{
printf("");
}

if else
is nothing but private variables.
structure is nothing but continuous allocation and public
variables and dissimilar data type.

IF Statement: Checks the value of data is less than or greater than. (in ranges).
example: can tell wether an input age is more than 18 and less than 60.
Switch Case: Checks the value of data that is prespecified. only equal to.
example: Can only generate output if the value matches. When the age is 18 or when the age is 60 . No comarison of data based on greater than or smaller than. Compares data based on equality.

Internally IF-ELSE implements Linear search, where as
SWITCH implements Binary search.

Answer / subbu
Basically while coding developers prefer Switch rather than
If-Else.
But inturn switch gets transferred to IF-ELSe format during
compilation.
