The video tutorial explains how to control program flow using a Switch statement in C programming. 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 and structure of Switch statements, including the use of case blocks and break commands. It also demonstrates debugging techniques and error handling, particularly focusing on avoiding duplicate cases. The video concludes with running the program using test data to verify its functionality.
