Can the switch statement be used with strings??

Answer 1

Mohd Shahzer

String in Switch Case in Java. Beginning with JDK 7, we can use astring literal/constant to control a switch statement, which is not possible in C/C++.
Using a string-based switch is an improvement over using the equivalent
sequence of
if/else statements.

As of now, there is no known way of using strings with switch case. You could use single character constants instead, or maybe some character at some position in the string.

Answer 6

We can't use a switch statement with strings in c++. you can only use integer, short, long, character. I think its the same for all the other programming languages too.
