Programming is nothing without If & else
Prove me wrong

What's this

This is like saying programming is nothing without logic. Isn't it obvious? Does it have to be said?

It's not just alternative to if and elseif.
For proper usage of switch and if/elseif statement
Switch statement is used when dealing with single input i.e when getting single input from the users. Example, from a select element with options.
While, if and elseif statement deals with getting multiple input from users, i.e comparing users data and printing the result according to the logic.

Note, both can be used for the same thing. But for best practice, it's what I wrote up there. Thanks �.

If you are familiar with Python well enough, you would understand that you can in fact do without the Else statement. IF does a better job as a conditional statement than Else. I mean, the Else is cool but too much of it is way too redundant, making your code unnecessarily long and messy to read. You don't want that.

Use the Else statement sparingly, and only when it's necessary.

Switch statement
Ternary operator
Pattern matching
Jump table
You could even use 'try' and 'catch' and looping statements with a little creativity.

You're such a novice.

If else can be circumvented with "while" and "do while" statements.
