What is the impact on performance when using a switch statement versus multiple if-else statements for numerous conditions?
- Switch statements are generally faster than multiple if-else statements for numerous conditions because they use direct lookup tables.
- Switch statements are slower than multiple if-else statements for numerous conditions due to increased code complexity.
- There is no significant difference in performance between switch and if-else statements for numerous conditions.
- Switch statements are slower due to the need for explicit type conversions.
Using a switch statement is often more performant when dealing with numerous conditions because it uses direct lookup tables, making it faster and more efficient than a series of if-else statements, which involve sequential comparisons.
