Switch Statement

To execute a group of statements depending upon the value of an Expression, then we use the Switch Case. Here, each value is called a Case, and the variable is being switched ON based on each case. Else statement case is executed if the test expression doesn't match with any of the Case specified by the user.

Case Else is an optional statement within the select Case. However, it is a good programming practice always to have a Case Else statement.
