What you are trying to achieve?

Make code in Code Playground and share the link with question.

In his case he is trying to assign switch case to a variable domain which is not possible in old java version.

In Java 11 you can assign but you need to use another syntax.

This is Java 11 syntax

String abc = switch (type) {
case 1 -> "abc";
case 2 -> "def";
default -> "none";
}

This is before java 11:

switch (type) {
case 1:
//abc
break;
case 2:
//def
break;
default:
break;
}

if you want to assign switch case value to a variable then make a method with return type of String. Now return switch value in method then assign returned value to a variable.

You can also assign printed value to domain variable but you cannot assign switch to a variable
