====== BASH - Switch ======

The switch construct can be used where nested conditions are required, but you don’t want to use complex if-else-elif chains.

<code bash>
#!/bin/bash

echo -n "Enter a number: "
read num

case $num in
100)
echo "Hundred!!" ;;
200)
echo "Double Hundred!!" ;;
*)
echo "Neither 100 nor 200" ;;
esac
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The conditions are written between the **case** and **esac** keywords.

The **<nowiki>*)</nowiki>** is used for matching all inputs other than 100 and 200.
