C - nested switch statements

It is possible to have a switch as 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.

Syntax:

The syntax for a nested switch statement is as follows:

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;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces following result:

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