Can the expression evaluated by switch be a string?

Question

It gave me an error when I tried it.

Answer 1

You can switch only integers. So you can create special key for you String value and switch it by keys.

Answer 2

Using strings with switch statements is illegal in C++, the reason being strings aren't necessarily supported as a type, but more of an array of characters, and the language doesn't quite understand that. With certain other languages though (such as C#) strings CAN be implemented into switch statements.
