Nested switch statement in C++

Switch-case statements: These are a substitute for long if statements that compare a variable to several integral values

• The switch statement is a multiway branch statement. It provides an easy way to dispatch execution to different parts of code based on the value of the expression.
• Switch is a control statement that allows a value to change control of execution.

Syntax:

switch (n)
{
    case 1: // code to be executed if n = 1;
  break;
    case 2: // code to be executed if n = 2;
  break;
    default: // code to be executed if 
      // n doesn't match any cases
}

Nested-Switch Statement: Nested-Switch statements refers to Switch statements inside of another Switch Statements. Syntax:

switch(n)
{
  // code to be executed if n = 1;
  case 1: 
    
  // Nested switch
  switch(num) 
  {
    // code to be executed if num = 10
    case 10: 
      statement 1;
      break;
      
    // code to be executed if num = 20
    case 20: 
      statement 2;
      break;
      
    // code to be executed if num = 30
    case 30: 
      statement 3;
      break;
      
      // code to be executed if n 
      // doesn't match any cases
      default: 
  }
  
  
  break;
    
  // code to be executed if n = 2;
  case 2:
    statement 2;
    break;
  
  // code to be executed if n = 3;
  case 3: 
    statement 3;
    break;
  
   // code to be executed if n doesn't match any cases
   default: 
}

Example: 

// Following is a simple program to demonstrate
// syntax of Nested Switch Statements.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 1, y = 2;

    // Outer Switch
    switch (x) {

    // If x == 1
    case 1:

        // Nested Switch

        switch (y) {

        // If y == 2
        case 2:
            cout << "Choice is 2";
            break;

        // If y == 3
        case 3:
            cout << "Choice is 3";
            break;
        }
        break;

    // If x == 4
    case 4:
        cout << "Choice is 4";
        break;

    // If x == 5
    case 5:
        cout << "Choice is 5";
        break;

    default:
        cout << "Choice is other than 1, 2 3, 4, or 5";
        
    }
    return 0;
}

Choice is 2
