// we use switch instead of if/else because it will take a lot of nesting

// here key is basically what we want to find and value is we are looking for the right lock
// think of it like lock and key here key is what we have been given and case value is if this key opens this lock or not
//if the key matche the lock we execute the code inside 
// here 'break' is very important because if we dont use it it executes every code after the matching value
// except default case. IT doenst execute default case


// we can check any kind of data type here lets check for String
