The switch statement is an alternative to if/else conditional construct (commonly called a "case statement") and may make the program more readable when handling multiple options.
```js
const day_of_week=Math.floor((Math.random()* 7)+1)
// get a random number between 1 and 7
// monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, etc...
switch(day_of_week){
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
alert("Business hours monday through thurday are from 9am to 10pm");
break;
case 5:
alert("Business hours on friday are from 9am to 6pm");
break;
case 6:
alert("Business hours on saturday are from 11am to 3pm");
break;
default:
alert("we are closed on sundays and holidays");
break;
}
```
I would like to know in which cases the use of the switch is more common and why. leave your comments here or create a post here on the site talking about it. thanks
