Multiple values in one case of a switch statement in C# — how to do it correctly?

Hello everyone. I've just started learning C# and encountered a problem when using the switch statement. I need the same block of code to execute for several different values of a variable. For example, I'm writing a simple program that determines the day of the week by number (1 — Monday, 2 — Tuesday, etc.). But I need to output one message for weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and another for weekdays. I tried writing it like this: ```csharp int day = 6; switch (day) { case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4: case 5: Console.WriteLine("Weekday"); break; case 6: case 7: Console.WriteLine("Weekend"); break; default: Console.WriteLine("Invalid day"); break; } ``` This works, but I was told that in newer versions of C# there is a more elegant way. I've heard about pattern matching, but I don't understand how to apply it for multiple values. Please advise how to write such code correctly.
