How do i make my string switch case insesitive?

Question

Hey, ok so this is what i have and it wont work, it works with .toUpperCase() but if i type "Hello" theres no output becuase of the capital H.

i basicly want it to ignore case without having to use if statements if possible.

thanks

String x;

Scanner y = new Scanner(System.in);

x = y.nextLine();

switch(x.equalsIgnoreCase()){

case "hello":

system.out.println("hello how are you?");

break;

Answer 2

x.toUpper() or x.toLower() Will work because it is still x. it is just making x be HELLO or hello.. then it checks that x against your case arguments.

x.equalIgnoreCase() is trying to compare x to an argument that is missing. it isn't making x ignorecase and checking it with an ignored case characteristic. it wants
x.equalsIgnoreCase("a string argument to check x againts");
it will work as an if statement.
if(x.equalsIgnoreCase("hello"); but not as a switch case

Answer 3

this uses x.toUpperCase() and all input is checked against uppercase.EDIT I removed my code, it was the wrong version lol
