How does the SWITCH statement really work in the C language?

The article on Robert Elder's blog discusses 'switch statements' in programming, focusing on their behavior as expression statements. The author begins by explaining the basic definition of 'switch statements', which allow for easier decision-making in code compared to multiple conditional events using 'if'. A key point in the article is the discussion of modern applications of these constructs and their advantages in simplifying code. Robert emphasizes that transforming 'switch statements' into expressions can lead to more concise and readable code, which is beneficial for maintenance. Furthermore, the author explores how these changes affect the way programmers think about logic and structuring applications. Practical examples are provided to illustrate the benefits that can be obtained when applying these approaches in various programming languages.
