title: Switch Case

# Switch Case
Switch is a selection statement that chooses a switch case section depending on the value matched with the expression/value being evaluated.<sup>1</sup> If none of the case statements match the value of the switched variable, the default path is chosen. The switch statement is like a set of `if statements`. We exit from the switch by `break`.
## Example
```
public enum Colors { Red, Blue, Green, Orange }
Colors myColor;
... myColor is set to one of the enum values ...
switch(myColor){
case Colors.Red:
Console.WriteLine("How you like them apples?");
break;
case Colors.Blue:
Console.WriteLine("Ice Ice Baby...");
break;
case Colors.Green:
Console.WriteLine("Fore!");
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("I have a hard time when I try to rhyme.");
}
```
## Output
```
If myColor is Colors.Red:
> How you like them apples?
If myColor is Colors.Blue:
> Ice Ice Baby...
If myColor is Colors.Green:
> Fore!
If myColor is Colors.Orange:
> I have a hard time when I try to rhyme.
```
