break;
case "اDEF":

Answer 1

You're missing closing curly brace (}) of the body of a switch statement.

C++ Switch Statements

Use the switch statement to select one of many code blocks to be executed.

https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/cpp_switch.asp

This is how it works:

The switch expression is evaluated once
The value of the expression is compared with the values of each case
If there is a match, the associated block of code is executed
The break and default keywords are optional

Answer 3

Does this mean that the switch does not work with the string?

Answer 4

Ramadan, that's right.
C++ switch statement cannot accept string as evaluation subject.

However we can create our own function to achieve somewhat similar result.
