switch statement

[codetojoy]

is the switch a loop, a conditional, or a subroutine construct or all of the above, or none of the above

[helios]

A switch is a decision construct, but I would argue that it's not a conditional construct, because there are expressions involving == that cannot be mapped to a switch.

std::string s = "hello";
// Valid:
if (s == "hello"){
}

// Invalid:
switch (s){
    case "hello":
        break;
}

A switch is a selection statement and is 'none of the above'.
