SWITCH CASE:
Since JavaSE7 onwards this is one statement which works with the following data-types-

1. byte
2. short
3. int
4. char
5. enum types

This also works with following wrapper classes-

1. Byte
2. Short
3. Integer
4. Character

Some good features:

• default statement is optional.
• default statement can be at the beginning and before case statements
• break statements are useful and recommended. If these are not used then next statements can get executed.
• presence of default statement helps to handle conditions at run-time, which otherwise can return unexpected results.
• One can use loops, if-then-else statements within case/default.
• Multiple case statements can be clubbed together and one result generated. 
• In case this is enclosed in a for, do-while or while loop, then a break followed by loop name can break the loop;
