Thanks for the answers
@Gordie: the cases work fine. Eclipse treats them as good. It's the switch that is causing trouble

Answer 2

change ur last case to "default:"

Answer 3

I have a few days since I started with java, and I don't know what the playground is in eclipse. I will attach the full code. It is for a tennis match. the input should be how scored, in this case with a simple input like p1 or p2. the output of the method should be a number of points added to an int and taken from an array of 0 15 30 40
