// switch statements takes a conditional value and match case's, in this case 20, so it would be default
switch ( 20 ) {
    case 5:
    console.log( "The value was five." );
    break;
  case 10:
    console.log( "The value was ten." );
    break;
  default:
    console.log( "The value was something unexpected." );
}
> "The value was something unexpected."

case switch javascript

Comment

switch(expression) {

    case x:
       // code of block to be executed when this case matches
       break; // if you decide to run a return statement in a specific case, then don't write break
    case y:
       // code of block to be executed when this case matches
       return "xyz"
       // In this case no "break" will be written as we have written a return statement
    default: "xyz" // If no case matches then the code written in the block of "default" will be executed

}

// For example

let x = 5;

switch(x) {
  case 1: 
    console.log(`x value is ${x}`)   
  case 2: 
    console.log(`x value is ${x}`)   
  case 3: 
    console.log(`x value is ${x}`)   
  case 4: 
    console.log(`x value is ${x}`)   
  case 5: 
    console.log(`x value is ${x}`)   
}
 
// Output "x value is 5"

    // NOTA: el "break" olvidado debería estar aquí
