Example 2: If two numbers (p and q) are equivalent reset them to zero,
otherwise exchange or swap their value each other and then print the
new values.

if (p==q)
p == q True
{
p=0 p = 0;
False
q = 0;
q=0
}
exchange( p,q)
else
{
print exchange(&p,&q);

printf(%d%d,p,q);
}

{
expr==val_1 True statment_1 case val_1 : statement_1;
break;
False

case val_2 : statement_2;

expr==val_2 True statment_2

expr==val_n True statment_n
break;

False
