与if/else if/else语句不同，switch语句可以有许多可能的执行路径。switch适用于原始类型，byte、短、char和int，它们各自的包装器类型（Byte、短、Character和Integer）、枚举类型和String类型¹。虽然if-else语句用于测试基于值或条件范围的表达式，但switch语句用于仅基于单个值测试表达式。

演示

enum PaymentStatus {
    UNPAID, PARTPAID, PAID, DISPUTED, UNKNOWN;
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String message = "";
        PaymentStatus paymentStatus = PaymentStatus.PARTPAID;

        switch (paymentStatus) {
        case UNPAID:
            message = "The order has not been paid yet. Please make the minimum/full amount to procced.";
            break;
        case PARTPAID:
            message = "The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.";
            break;
        case PAID:
            message = "The order is fully paid. Please choose the desired items from the menu.";
            break;
        default:
            throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid payment status: " + paymentStatus);
        }
        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

输出：

The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.

switch表达式是在JavaSE12中引入的。然而，它在JavaSE12和13中仍然作为预览功能，并最终在JavaSE14中得到标准化。与任何表达式一样，switch表达式计算为单个值，并且可以在语句中使用。它还引入了“箭头case”标签，消除了off语句以防止失败的需要。截至JavaSE15，支持的数据类型没有变化（在上面的switch语句部分中提到）。

演示

enum PaymentStatus {
    UNPAID, PARTPAID, PAID, DISPUTED, UNKNOWN;
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PaymentStatus paymentStatus = PaymentStatus.PARTPAID;

        String message = switch (paymentStatus) {
        case UNPAID -> "The order has not been paid yet. Please make the minimum/full amount to procced.";
        case PARTPAID -> "The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.";
        case PAID -> "The order is fully paid. Please choose the desired items from the menu.";
        default -> throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid payment status: " + paymentStatus);
        };

        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

输出：

The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.

由于JavaSE13，您可以使用产生语句，而不是箭头运算符（-

演示

enum PaymentStatus {
    UNPAID, PARTPAID, PAID, DISPUTED, UNKNOWN;
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PaymentStatus paymentStatus = PaymentStatus.PARTPAID;

        String message = switch (paymentStatus) {
        case UNPAID:
            yield "The order has not been paid yet. Please make the minimum/full amount to procced.";
        case PARTPAID:
            yield "The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.";
        case PAID:
            yield "The order is fully paid. Please choose the desired items from the menu.";
        default:
            throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid payment status: " + paymentStatus);
        };

        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

输出：

The order is partially paid. Some features will not be available. Please check the brochure for details.

¹JDK7添加了对String的支持

写得不错！但是我也可以为单个case语句添加多个case的功能。下面的示例非常做作（有很多更好的方法来实现它）。它对字符串中的元音、数字、辅音和其他字符进行简单的频率计数。

int count[] = new int[4];

String s = "829s2bi9jskj*&@)(so2i2ksso";

for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
      int i = switch (c) {
                case  'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' -> 0;
                case  '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' -> 1;
                case  'b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l',
                      'm', 'n', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'v', 'w',
                      'x', 'y', 'z' -> 2;
                default -> 3;
      };
      count[i]++;
}
System.out.printf("vowels  - %d%n", count[0]);
System.out.printf("digits  - %d%n", count[1]);
System.out.printf("consonants - %d%n", count[2]);
System.out.printf("other   - %d%n", count[3]);

指纹

vowels  - 4
digits  - 7
consonants - 10
other   - 5

添加到现有答案：收益率也可以与一起使用-

var test = switch (value) {
    case A -> 1;
    case B -> 2;
    case C -> {
        System.err.println("neither A nor B"); // or some calculation
        yield -1;
    }
}

我还要提到JEP-354，其中提出并描述了开关表达式。
可以在Java语言规范中找到正式规范。
