Answer
Switch expressions can provide clearer intent and enforce exhaustive handling.
Switch expressions can be more concise and express intent more clearly than a series of if-else statements, especially when dealing with a fixed set of known values like enums. They also enforce exhaustive handling, which helps catch missing cases at compile time. This is useful in situations like handling user roles or permissions, where each role has a distinct set of actions or access levels.
