Question

In Java, ................ statement is used to execute a block of code matching one value out of many possible values.

• A. if
• B. for
• C. while
• D. switch

Hint:

Use the switch statement in Java to handle multiple constant value conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The switch statement in Java is used to evaluate an expression against multiple possible values and execute the corresponding code block.
It is a cleaner alternative to using multiple if-else-if statements when checking a variable for equality against several constant values.
Each possible value is defined using a case label, and the block executes if a match is found.
A default case can also be used when no match occurs.
Example:
switch(day)
case 1: {System.out.println("Monday");
break;}
The switch statement supports values like int, char, string, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is (D) switch.
