7,324 PointsThis video has a pretty good explanation of switch statements and how they work, at least better than I could explain. :p For the sake of not causing confusion, I'll just leave you to watch the video instead of trying to explain it my own way. It's in Java, but switch statements are the same in other languages with maybe a bit different syntax.
