Answer 1

[Edited: Changed sample code from C to C++ and simplified the case values.]

Just one of many possibilities to transform a string into a representative index. The options are all in one string. The position in the options string becomes the case value.

#include <string>
string options = "one two three four ";
string response = "three";
switch(options.find(response)) {
case 0: //one
break;
case 4: //two
break;
case 8: //three
break;
case 14: //four
break;
default: //invalid input
}

We can't use a string as the switch(variable), but you can use a hashing algorithm.

Answer 3

Feasible, with extra work https://learnmoderncpp.com/2020/06/01/strings-as-switch-case-labels/

But that depends on whether you find the feasibility to be worthy of the extra work.

Answer 4

c/c++ switch cases must be of integral value. Those can't support string literals as cases. If you want to use strings as case values, then find a logic to it as a integer constant as of codes by @Brian and @HungryTradie.

Answer 5

Just same as any other type.

{
String n = "one";
Switch(n){
case "one":
System.out.println("I am num 1");
break;
class "two":
System.out.println("I am num 2");
break;
default:
System.out.println("no match");
}

Answer 6

Manav Roy[LESS ACTIVE DUE TO EXAMS] my sample code was in C. Now that I realized that you tagged C++ I simplified my sample to work with C++ strings. It should be easier to understand.

Answer 7

VB.Net's select/case statement has the flexibility that you crave.

Manav Roy[LESS ACTIVE DUE TO EXAMS] you are looking in the wrong language. Have you tried VB.Net?
