switch statement is faster to execute than the if-else-if ladder. This is
due to the compiler's ability to optimise the switch statement. In the case
of the if-else-if ladder, the code must process each if statement in the
order determined by the programmer. However, because each case within a
swit
for switch in the worst case compiler will generate if else chain .. else it
uses binary decision tree or jump table for optimization at compile time .

As per my understanding it is compiler depending thing..
what i feel is switch need to evaluate the expression only once but if
else if need to evaluate the expression more than once(what if
expression stored in variable and then compare...)
Does any one please comment difference in speed of swit
