Command Router

Command-line style programs often map a selected command to one compact action path.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int commandChoice = ;
    const char *command = "build";
    int status = 0;

    if (commandChoice == 0) {
        command = "test";
        status = 0;
    } else if (commandChoice == 2) {
        command = "deploy";
        status = 2;
    }

    printf("choice=%d command=%s status=%d\n", commandChoice, command, status);
    return 0;
}

command choice The program turns a small integer choice into a command name and status code.

routing Branches keep each command path explicit while sharing the same final reporting step.
