🚨 Switch Statement Traps
❌ Forgetting Break
Can cause unintended fall-through
❌ Complex Conditions
Switch works with exact values

case 1:
printf("One");
case 2:
printf("Two");
default:
printf("Default");
}
🤔 Switch vs If-Else: When to Use?
Switch: Best For
- Single variable matching
- Multiple exact value choices
- Clean, readable menus
If-Else: Best For
- Complex conditions
- Range-based comparisons
- Multiple variable checks
