Here's what made it clear for me, might help : It's a misinterpretation of what switch (x){} means.

It doesn't mean : "whenever whatever I put inbetween those brackets is true, when the value of x changes."
It means : "whenever x EQUALS what I put between those brackets"

So, in our case, x NEVER equals x%3===0 or any of the other cases, that doesn't even mean anything. x just equals x all the time. That's why the machine just ignores the instruction. You are not redefining x with the switch function. And what you put inbetween the brackets describes x and x only, not anything related to x.

In short :
With if/else you can describe any condition.
With switch you can only describe the different values taken by the variable x.
