C++ for Beginners - The "case" Statement

The video tutorial explains how to control program flow using a Switch statement in C. It begins by discussing the limitations of using if-else statements for determining the number of days in a month and introduces the Switch statement as a more efficient alternative. The tutorial covers the syntax of Switch statements, the importance of break commands to prevent fall-through, and demonstrates building and debugging the program. Finally, it runs the program with different inputs to show how the Switch statement handles various cases, including leap years.

What is the main advantage of using a Switch statement over multiple if-else statements?

• It allows for more complex conditions.

• It is more compact and readable.

• It can handle more data types.

• It is faster in execution.

In a Switch statement, what is the purpose of the break statement?

• To handle exceptions.

• To initialize variables.

• To prevent fall-through to subsequent cases.

• To terminate the program.

What happens if a break statement is omitted in a Switch case?

• The program will skip to the end of the Switch.

• The next case will be executed.

• The program will crash.

• The default case will be executed.

How does the default case in a Switch statement function?

• It is used to initialize variables.

• It is optional and can be omitted.

• It executes before any other case.

• It executes when all other cases are false.

What error might occur if the same case is repeated in a Switch statement?

• The program will execute the default case.

• The program will throw a compilation error.

• The program will ignore the repeated case.

• The program will execute both cases.

How does the program determine the number of days in February during a leap year?

• By using a default case in the Switch statement.

• By checking if the year is divisible by 4.

• By using a separate function.

• By using a constant value.

What is the result of running the program with the input year 2001 and month December?

• 31 days

• 28 days

• 30 days

• 29 days
