Switch statement equivalent in Windows batch file

Question

I wonder if there is a simple way to branch execution in a Windows batch file depending on the value of one single expression. Something akin to switch/case blocks in C, C++

Answer 1

Try by this way. To perform some list of operations like

1. Switch case has been used.
2. Checking the conditional statements.
3. Invoking the function with more than two arguments.
