In this example, we check the value of `x`, and execute some code based on the value. Instead of having to type `x == 1`, `x == 2` and so on, we instead provide the value only once, and decide what to do for each case. We can optionally provide a `default` case, which will be executed if no other case was triggered.

You can execute multiple statements inside a single case. A common case would be to log some debug output and then return a value.
