Computer Science The following C++ Program Example 4.23 enables users to know the type of the
game through the number of players using switch case statement. The output of the
program is shown in Figure 4.45.

Program Example 4.23:
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
Identifying the type of games using a switch case statement

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n;
cout<<”Enter number of players to know type of the game: “;
cin>>n;
switch(n)
{
case 5:
cout<<”Basketball”<<endl;
break;
case 6:
cout<<”Volleyball”<<endl;
break;
case 9:
cout<<”Baseball”<<endl;
break;
case 11:
cout<<”Football”<<endl;
break;
default:
cout<<”Select 5, 6, 9 and 11 only”<<endl;
}
return 0;
}

Output:

Exercise 4.12

1. What is the function of the “break” keyword in a switch-case statement?
2. Describe the advantages of using a switch-case statement over if statement?
3. Which data types are required for the switch variables?
