C - nested switch statements

C - nested switch statements
It is possible to have a switch as part of the statement sequence of an outer switch. Even if the case constants of the inner and outer switch contain common values, no conflicts will arise.

Syntax:
The syntax for a nested switch statement is as follows:

switch(ch1) {
case 'A':
printf
("This A is part of outer switch" );
switch(ch2) {
case 'A':
printf
("This A is part of inner switch" );
break;
case 'B': /* case code */
}
break;
case 'B': /* case code */
}

Example:
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int a = 100;
int b = 200;

switch(a) {
case 100:
printf
("This is part of outer switch\n", a );
switch(b) {
case 200:
printf
("This is part of inner switch\n", a );
}
}
printf
("Exact value of a is : %d\n", a );
printf
("Exact value of b is : %d\n", b );

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces following result:

This is part of outer switch
This is part of inner switch
Exact value of a is : 100
Exact value of b is : 200
