6The only real reason to use a switch (other than some optimization efforts) is to use them in conjunction with an enum. By doing so, the compiler can tell that you're missing an enum and give you a nice warning for it.
But in general switch statements suck since they use non-standard flow control (i.e. no curly braces) and people always forget the break statements on them.
I didn't mention it in the video, but if you do want to use switch statements and intentionally omit the break statement, look up the fallthrough attribute.
