Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 36RQE
Sometimes either a switch statement or an if /else if statement can be used to implement logic that requires branching to different blocks of program code. But the two arc not interchangeable.
A) Under what circumstances would an if/else if statement be a more appropriate choice than a switch statement?
B) Under what circumstances would a switch statement be a more appropriate choice than an if/else If statement?
C) Under what circumstances would a set of nested if/else statements he more appropriate than either of the other two structures?
Try to come up with at least one example case for each of the three, where it is the best way to implement the desired branching logic.

- Making choices with the conditional expression LISP provides a control structure called the conditional expression that works like an if statement in C++. It tests a condition and runs either a consequent expression or an alternative expression, depending on the truth value of the condition. The entire conditional expression then returns the value of the consequent or the alternative expression. Type the following conditional expression at the interpreter's prompt: |(if (> 4 3) 4 3) What value is returned? Now we'll define a function that solves a general problem, finding the maximum of two numbers, using the following conditional expression: |(define (maximum x y) (if (> x y) y)) Test this function with several pairs of numbers.arrow_forwardBranching Statements on Solving Function My Soluti Write a MATLAB program to evaluate the function y(x) = Inx for any user-specified value of x, where x is a number. 1.0 (note that In is the natural logarithm, the logarithm to the base e).
