PHP switch statement syntax example and efficiency comparison with ifelse

Switch statement is also the longest common logical control statement in object-oriented programming statements. Switch statements are used to perform different actions based on multiple different conditions - that is, when the conditions are different, different logical operations are performed. It is similar to the switch usage in other statements, but note that there is a break statement.

Standard syntax of switch statement in PHP:

switch (expression)
{
case label1:
 code to be executed if expression = label1;
 break; 
case label2:
 code to be executed if expression = label2;
 break;
default:
 code to be executed
 if expression is different from both label1 and label2;
}

Example:

switch($i){
  case 1:
    echo 1;
    break;
  case 2:
    echo 2;
    break;
  default:
    echo 'others';
}

You can also use switch to determine a value range, or in a case Custom conditions.

<?php
header("content-type:text/html;charset=utf8");
$score=50;
switch($score) 
{
 case $score>=90 && $score<=100:
  echo "优<br>";
  break;
 case $score>=80 && $score<90:
  echo "良<br>";
  break;
 case $score>=70 && $score<80:
  echo "中<br>";
  break;
 case $score>=60 && $score<70:
  echo "及格<br>";
  break;
 case $score>=0 && $score<60:
  echo "不及格<br>";
  break;
 default:
  echo"成绩输入错误<br>";
}
?>

Simple example

  default: 
    echo &#39;sorry none is the same!&#39;; 
    break;

 echo &#39;<hr/>&#39;; 
  //情况二：数值匹配的时候自动转换成字符

    break; 
 } 
 echo &#39;<br/>&#39;.&#39;成功退出····&#39;;

    break; 
  default:

    break;

 echo &#39;<br/>&#39;.&#39;成功退出····&#39;; 
 echo &#39;<hr/>&#39;; 
  //情况四：字串匹配的时候自动转换成数值 
 $a="1";

  //情况五：float也可以匹配

No matter what language a program is written in, the running efficiency of the code must be taken into consideration. After consulting some information, switch and ifelse each have superior efficiency in different 'environments'.

1. When the value being judged is a constant (fixed value), the operating efficiency of switch is higher than that of ifelse;

$changliang=3;   // 变判断的值为常量
switch($changliang){
  case 1:
    echo '常量值为1';
    break;   // 跳出循环
  case 2:
    echo '常量值为2';
    break;
  case 3:
    echo '常量值为3';
    break;
}

2. When the judged value is a variable, the operating efficiency of ifelse is higher than that of switch. Ifelse implements the policy of judging from the first condition to the last else, so it is beneficial to learn to use switch;

$a = $_GET['a']; // 通过get传值后接值; 被判断的值
if($a=1){
  echo '变量a的值为1';
}elseif($a=2){
  echo '变量a的值为2';
}elseif($a=3){
  echo '变量a的值为3';
}else{
  echo '变量a的值为不知道';
}
