1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,250
Welcome back, this is less than 11 switched statements, so suwit statements are very similar to IFLA

2
00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:12,010
statements in that you are going to perform different actions based on different conditions, but they're

3
00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:13,120
much more flexible.

4
00:00:13,390 --> 00:00:17,080
The basic keyword will stop the code when the condition is met.

5
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:21,580
So similar to an if else, you know, one condition can happen.

6
00:00:21,580 --> 00:00:27,820
But the difference here is that with case, you're allowed to do multiple conditions at the same time.

7
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:34,630
So if it's strawberry or raspberry, then it perform this section of code.

8
00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:40,000
If it's blueberry, this section BEININ in this section and then a switch statement needs a default

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,700
at the end, which is like that else in the NFL's.

10
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:48,070
That will execute a block of code if the conditions are not met.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,610
OK, so let's take a look at it in JavaScript.

12
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:53,320
All right.

13
00:00:53,330 --> 00:00:54,760
So let's start with.

14
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:09,630
Start with a contest, fruit is strawberry, and let's do our switch case, so switch fruit, so it's

15
00:01:09,630 --> 00:01:12,540
going to check the value that set for fruit.

16
00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:21,210
And then in different cases, when we say in English, that's not the case, know we're talking about

17
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:22,350
different scenarios.

18
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:28,770
So in the case where it's strawberry, it will move on.

19
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:31,020
And in the case where it's.

20
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:33,920
Rasberry.

21
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:43,020
They will execute this block of code here.

22
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:51,430
Throughputs.

23
00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:57,880
Is red.

24
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:11,220
And then we have to break have it jump out of the entire logic at that point, and then we go to case

25
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:12,630
where blueberry.

26
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:29,350
Instead, we're going to see blue and then we're going to see a case where banana.

27
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:40,150
We see a banana is yellow.

28
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,520
And then we have to end it with a default and inside my default, I can say.

29
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,870
I can see I don't know.

30
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,870
I don't know what the color of I don't know what color.

31
00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:19,740
The something is that's come up with another one.

32
00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:24,720
OK, so if this is the case, let's just test it out, see what happens.

33
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,610
Strawberry is red or raspberry.

34
00:03:32,890 --> 00:03:33,670
Is red

35
00:03:36,490 --> 00:03:37,840
a blueberry?

36
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:55,380
Is blue, banana is yellow, and if I put in some other thing like apple, I don't know what color the

37
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:57,250
apple is awesome.

38
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:59,270
So this is exactly what we wanted to see.

39
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,930
As you can see, this is a little bit more flexible than an if statement.

40
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:11,340
It's actually preferred in a variety of cases when you're developing in JavaScript to use which case

41
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,270
instead of using NFLs, and you can certainly use it AFL's and where you could use the ternary operator

42
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:22,530
and you could nest ternary operations and nest if else statements.

43
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:29,700
To get where you need to go and to do a very similar logic, but in which case definitely simplifies

44
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:36,840
some situations where you want to have a similar format in many cases and different formats in other

45
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:37,390
cases.

46
00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:39,650
So there you go.

47
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:44,940
And then obviously you can get switch case structures that are much more complex than this.

48
00:04:45,390 --> 00:04:47,250
But this is a great example to get started.

49
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:48,570
All right.

50
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:50,480
That's it for Section four.

51
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,830
We're going to move on to our code challenge in the next video.
