Why strings can't be used in switch case in C++. Please answer me.

the tone of this question sounds like we are the language specification committee 😅😅😅, and we should add it in the upcoming draft

A string in C/C++ is an array. The raw value isn't the string itself but rather a pointer to the data.

The switch case only works with integers or things that evaluate as integers (like enums or macros).
