Can we accept a string value in switch case?

I'm on level 3 switch case programs and my task involves accepting a string value in switch case. What should I do?

Yes you can In java and most other languages it'll be like this: string someString = "hey"; switch (someString) { case "hello": // Do something break; case "world": // Do something else break; default: // If the string doesn't match any of the cases, execute the code here } You can use a switch statement for all types like int, string, float, double, etc. But you need to be careful with the value you provide for each case since it can not be a variable (it has to be a constant value, like "some text" or 56) and it has to have a matching type with the value/variable in the switch parentheses. (for example the type of someString variable is string, so all the cases that you're comparing it to should be strings, like "hello")
