								<p class='vspace'></p><h2>switch / case statements</h2>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>Like <strong>if</strong> statements, <strong>switch...case</strong> controls the flow of programs by allowing programmers to specify different code that should be executed in various conditions.  In particular, a switch statement compares the value of a variable to the values specified in case statements.  When a case statement is found whose value matches that of the variable, the code in that case statement is run.  
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p class='vspace'></p><p>The <strong>break</strong> keyword exits the switch statement, and is typically used at the end of each case.  Without a break statement, the switch statement will continue executing the following expressions ("falling-through") until a break, or the end of the switch statement is reached.
