In simple words to learn any natural language like ENGLISH, HINDI,FRENCH.... firstly we need to learn the vocabulary and grammar of that language. That means we have to learn how the language is actually specified. In the same way programming languages(formal languages) like C,C++, JAVA.... has their own vocabulary and grammar and such grammar is specified with the help of mathematical model that is called as Theory of Computation.
Perhaps you meant 'switch statement' instead of 'a switch'?Something like this: -> -> switch () -> { } -> (empty) | -> []; -> | -> case: | default: -> | break;
