Answer 4

taken from https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/switch
condition-any expression of integral or enumeration type, or of a class type contextually implicitly convertible to an integral or enumeration type, or a declaration of a single non-array variable of such type with a brace-or-equals initializer.

soo.. you cant have string in there, its still possible to use char

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

"case" must be followed by a constant integer and must be ended by a "break" (which you forgot).
But nothing stop you from writing

if (name=="george") cout<<"hi george"<<endl;
else if (name=="sam") cout<<"hi sam"<<endl;
else cout<<"name not found"<<endl;
