If you're still using old-style switch statements with repetitive case blocks and breaks, it's time for an upgrade.

C# 8.0 introduced switch expressions, a modern, concise, and more readable alternative. They eliminate boilerplate and make your logic feel more declarative and elegant.

𝗡𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲:
• Long chains of case blocks
• Repeating return statements
• Manual break management

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁:
• Compact syntax
• Built-in pattern matching
• Better type inference
• Improved readability

Whether you’re returning a value based on a condition, simplifying an if-else ladder, or handling enums and tuples, switch expressions make your code cleaner and easier to maintain.

If you’re writing C# today, embracing expression-based logic is the way forward.
