# Switch
Limbo does not have a verbatim `switch` statement. Rather, it has a statement named `case` which is analogous, but not identical to C's switch-case construct.
Limbo case statements break by default and accept range matching operations involving the `or` and `to` keywords.
Note: A break or continue followed by a label causes a break out of, or the next iteration of, the enclosing construct that is labeled with the same label.

## Exercises
- Try commenting out the `break` and/or `continue` keywords in the first switch, how does the behavior change?
