Chapter 2, Problem 57RQ

Explanation of Solution

Switch statement in C’s versus C#:

The changes made in C’s switch statement to make it more efficient in C#.

C language:

In C language never made an implicit branch statement at the end of each case’s code (at the end of selectable blocks of code, break statement is not mandatory). This caused many logical and programming errors.

Example of switch statement in C,

var = 100;

switch (var)

{

  case 100: printf("Value is 100”); // No break here

  case 200: printf("Value is 200”); break;

}

Output in C:

Value is 100 Value is 200

In C, control falls from one case label to another...
