The switch statement checks the value of the variable and executes the corresponding case block.
A instrução switch verifica o valor da variável e executa o bloco de caso correspondente.
2. A programming construct that transfers control to one of several code segments depending on the value of an expression, replacing multiple if-else statements
Instead of writing five if-else statements, I used a switch statement for cleaner code.
