I'm getting an input from a user - a number - 1 or 2, and then test if it's 1 or 2. Should I use switch or if? I think switch is better because I can also define a default case, but then - I can do the same with if: if, else if, else. Which one should I use and how do I know in other cases as well?

If the program has to act on a discrete set of values (do this for 1, do that for 2, etc), then a switch is usually better.
If the program has to act on a range of values (for 1 through 10, do this, for 11 - 20, do that), then an "if-else" is usually better.
If the only inputs you are expecting is 1 and 2, then either would be sufficient.
