Part 6/9:
In contrast, with a switch statement, the generated code leverages a jump table, drastically reducing the number of operations performed to achieve the same result. This method effectively allows for direct access to memory locations corresponding to different commands, thus enhancing performance.
The assembly code takes a simple value, performs a calculation to find the corresponding address in the jump table, and jumps directly to that location, resulting in faster execution because it eliminates the overhead of multiple comparisons and branches.
