(upbeat music) - [Instructor] Here is my solution where the tall if-else, if-else construction has been replaced by a switch case structure. The switch is variable a. Each of the case statements references values 1, 2, and 3 with the appropriate puts statements outputting the strings. The default condition replaces the old final else statement in the original construction. I believe this approach is far more efficient than performing multiple if and if-else tests in the original challenge code, especially when the comparison is simple, such as these values 1, 2, and 3. It's also more readable I think. Always be on the lookout for similar improvements in your code. I hope your solution generated positive results.
