## Switch Statements
|
||
|
|
Switch statements execute blocks of code based on the value of a condition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Syntax:
|
||
|
|
```PHP
|
||
|
|
switch(x) {
|
||
|
|
case 1:
|
||
|
|
statement1;
|
||
|
|
break;
|
||
|
|
case 2:
|
||
|
|
statement2;
|
||
|
|
break;
|
||
|
|
default:
|
||
|
|
defaultstatement;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the above example, x is the condition. The statements following the case that matches will be executed. If there are no matches, the default statement(s) will be run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `break` keyword is used to end each case.
