Different between if/else structure and switchstructure in c and c++, why switch statements is more efficientthan using multiple if/else statements?

Explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Coding Problems.

If/Else statements receives an input and compares it to a true of false statement, if it is true then one function is called. Otherwise another function is called. IF/Else statements only have two outcomes which is why they are many times nested one on top of the other to be able to produce more outcomes.

Switch Statements receive and input and compares it to a set of predefined answers. If the right answer is found then the function relating to that answer is called. Otherwise the default function is called.

IF/Else is only more efficient than Switch statements if the inputted value is not predictable enough to make a predefined set.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at
