Can you put a string oporation into a switch statement?

Question

I'm working on a switch statement that would require a string operation input. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Answer 1

you could use enum?

Answer 2

It's not possible to use strings as case values because of how C++ supports strings.
However, any switch can be replaced with a chain of if/else if/else, which will work the same way.

Answer 3

While I definitely recommend avoiding strings due to a whole plethora of reasons (case, encoding, etc), you can technically create a constexpr hash function and use that in your switch statement. Be wary of collisions if you take that route.
