Select Case statement:

• A Select Case statement allows a variable to test for equality against a list of values.
• Each value is known as a case and variable that is switched on is checked for each select case.
• The syntax for a Select Case statement is given below:

  Select [Case] expression

[Case expressionlist

  [statements]]

        [Case Else

            [Elsestatements]]

    End Select

• In the above syntax, expression is something that must evaluate to an elementary data type in visual basic.
• expressionlist is a list of expression clauses representing match values for expression.
• Statements following Case runs if the selected expression matches any clause in expressionlist.
• Else statements are statements following Case Else that run if the select expression does not match any clause in the expressionlist.
