nested switch

It is possible to have a switch as a part of the statement sequence of an outer switch. Even if the case constants of the inner and outer switch contain common values, no conflicts will arise.

switch(ch1) {

   case 'A': 
      printf("This A is part of outer switch" );
      switch(ch2) {
         case 'A':
            printf("This A is part of inner switch" );
            break;
         case 'B': /* case code */
      }
  
      break;
   case 'B': /* case code */

}

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main () {

   /* local variable definition */
   int a = 100;
   int b = 200;

   switch(a) {
   
      case 100: 
         printf("This is part of outer switch\n", a );
      
         switch(b) {
            case 200:
               printf("This is part of inner switch\n", a );
         }
   }
   
   printf("Exact value of a is : %d\n", a );
   printf("Exact value of b is : %d\n", b );

   return 0;

}

output:
This is part of outer switch
This is part of inner switch
Exact value of a is : 100
Exact value of b is : 200
