Switch statements vs. if statements
so switch statements do the same thing as if statements that only use the equality operator as the test?

Hi Julie, you are right. It's basically a list of simple equality tests on one variable.
Ayush, I think you might have overshot a little making it too simple. The switch-statement only allows branching on a single variable without negation (you can't do "not" in the switch-statement). The if-statement can do *much* more, e.g. not just equals expressions as *all* comparison operators are available (not, greater than etc.) and you can therefore also express a lot more.

Wouldn't using multiple if statements be the same as a switch except the switch requires less typing.

Adam, you are right. Unfortunately, Ayush removed his answer I was referring to. In his answer he basically stated that the switch statement is a "simple" version of the list if statements. This still hold true, so there's a good reason for the switch statement to exist: it simplicity helps to understand what you want to express.
