I'm currently doing a Computer Science course and my professor is telling us to use Else if statements instead of Switch statements. I've done some searching and have used both and I find Switch statements are much more manageable in comparison.
Can the same goal be achieved between the two?
What are your thoughts on this?

I wanted to use switch statement for a particular problem and he explicitly said to use Else If, and to use that for all future problems. I just find this odd...
