C++

C++

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int x = 2;

    switch(x)
    {
        case 1:
            std::cout << "x = 1" << std::endl;
            break;
        case 2:

        default:
            std::cout << "x is undefined" << std::endl;

    // switch-case with variable initialization (C++17)
    char op = '+';
    int n = 10;

C#

C#

int x = 2;

switch(x)
{    
    case 1:
        Console.WriteLine("x = 1");
        break;
    case 2:
        Console.WriteLine("x = 2");
        break;
    case 3:
        Console.WriteLine("x = 3");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine("x is undefined");
        break;
}

Returning from switch (Switch Expression):

C#

int x = 2;
int result = x switch {
    1 => 1,
    2 => 4,
    3 => 9,
    _ => -1
};
Console.WriteLine(result); // 4

Common Lisp

Lisp

(let ((x 2))
    (cond
        ((eql x 1) (format t "x=1~%"))
        ((eql x 2) (format t "x=2~%"))
        ((eql x 3) (format t "x=3~%"))
        ( t (format t "x is undefined~%"))))

Dart

Dart

int x = 2;

switch(x){
    case 1:
        print("x = 1");
    case 2:
        print("x = 2");
    case 3:
        print("x = 3");
    default:
        print("x is undefined");
}

F#

F#

let x = 2

match x with
| 1 -> printfn "x = 1"
| 2 -> printfn "x = 2"
| 3 -> printfn "x = 3"
| _ -> printfn "x is undefined"

Returning from the match:

F#

let x = 2

let result = match x with
             | 1 -> 1
             | 2 -> 4
             | 3 -> 9
             | _ -> -1

printfn "%d" result // 4

Go

Go

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
    x := 2

    switch(x){
        case 1:
            fmt.Println("x = 1")
        case 2:
            fmt.Println("x = 2")
        case 3:
            fmt.Println("x = 3")
        default:
            fmt.Println("x is undefined")
    }
}

Java

Java

class Program {
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        int x = 2;

        switch(x) {    
            case 1:
                System.out.println("x = 1");
                break;
            case 2:
                System.out.println("x = 2");
                break;
            case 3:
                System.out.println("x = 3");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("x is undefined");
                break;
        }
    }
}

Returning from switch (Switch Expressions):

Java

int x = 2;
int result = switch(x) {
    case 1 -> 1;
    case 2 -> 4;
    case 3 -> 9;
    default -> -1;
};
System.out.println(result);  // 4

JavaScript

JavaScript

const x = 2;

switch(x)
{
    case 1: 
        console.log("x = 1");
        break;
    case 2: 
        console.log("x = 2");
        break;
    case 3: 
        console.log("x = 3");
        break;
    default: 
        console.log("x is undefined");
        break;
}

Kotlin

Kotlin

val x = 2

when (x) {
    1 -> println("x = 1")
    2 -> println("x = 2")
    3 -> println("x = 3")
    else -> println("x is undefined")
}

Return from when:

Kotlin

val x = 2

val result = when (x) {
    1 -> 1
    2 -> 4
    3 -> 9
    else -> -1
}

println(result)

Python

Python

x = 2

match x:
    case 1: 
        print("x = 1")
    case 2: 
        print("x = 2")
    case 3: 
        print("x = 3")
    case _: 
        print("x is undefined")

Rust

Rust

fn main(){
    let x = 2;

    match x {
        1 => println!("x = 1"),
        2 => println!("x = 2"),
        3 => println!("x = 3"),
        _ => println!("x is undefined")
    }
}

Returning from the match:  

Rust

fn main(){
    let x = 2;
    let result = match x {
        1 => 1,
        2 => 4,
        3 => 9,
        _ => -1
    };
    println!("{}", result);
