Switch statements are strict in that you need to provide a default fall through case but they also give you more flexibility in that if statements work with boolean, switch statements can take on a larger variety of case statements for a Serene and known set of parameters a switch statement is preferred but when there are a variety of unknowns then if statements will work to your advantage.

From another point of view, your code should always be understandable by humans (just in case someone else has to maintain your code)... so a switch statement is far less complicated to read than a nested if-elseif-elseif-else statement.
