Algorithm

In C#, the switch statement is used to evaluate the value of an expression against multiple possible constant values. It provides a more concise way to write a series of if-else statements when you need to compare a variable against several different values.

#1 C# Programming switch Statement

Code - C# Programming

using System;
 
namespace Conditional
{
    class SwitchCase
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            char ch;
            Console.WriteLine("Enter an alphabet");
            ch = Convert.ToChar(Console.ReadLine());
 
            switch(Char.ToLower(ch))
            {
                case 'a':
                    Console.WriteLine("Vowel");
                    break;
                case 'e':
                    Console.WriteLine("Vowel");
                    break;
                case 'i':
                    Console.WriteLine("Vowel");
                    break;
                case 'o':
                    Console.WriteLine("Vowel");
                    break;
                case 'u':
                    Console.WriteLine("Vowel");
                    break;
                default:
                    Console.WriteLine("Not a vowel");
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
