Switch vs If...Else

When to use which.

Examples

Switch Use Case

Checking exact values.

let fruit = "Apple";
switch(fruit) {
    case "Apple": console.log("Red"); break;
    case "Banana": console.log("Yellow"); break;
}

If-Else Use Case

Checking ranges (Switch cannot do this easily).

let score = 85;
if (score > 90) {
    console.log("A");
} else if (score > 80) {
    console.log("B");
}

Complex Logic

Switch is not suitable for multiple variables.

if (user.isLoggedIn && user.hasPermission) {
    // Show admin panel
}
