Is there an equivalent of the switch function, but for strings?

Question

The usual is, you insert an integer, and one of the cases is executed depending on the integer, is there a similar function but instead of an integer i can insert a string?

Answer 1

With strings you'd use if-else if-else along with strcmp(str1, str2)==0 (case sensitive)
Where each if or else if would be similar to a case and the else block would be similar to default. Note that, of course, there is no use of a break statement here nor will there be any fall through to the next case.

char str[] = "Hello";

if (strcmp(str, "hello")==0) {
... // not a match
} else if (strcmp(str, "heLLo")==0) {
... // not a match
} else if (strcmp(str, "hEllO")==0) {
... // not a match
} else if (strcmp(str, "Hello")==0) {
... // match
} else {
... // default
}

FWIW... If you've not been exposed to other languages yet, switch is much more flexible in other languages.

Answer 3

I wrote a code, but in the meantime they answered you. I post it the same.

edit: maybe it's worth to tell you that in case the compared strings are identical, strcmp returns 0. So the if( !strcmp ) is entered only if the strings match.
