What data type can a case have?

When I was testing string around, I made a switch statement and declared that a case would be "Apple", but it resulted in an error; so can a case be a different data type than int?

C++ doesn't support switches on arrays. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/switch

You can use a enum in switch, and the compiler tell you if one enum is not defined in your switch. Example: enum probe {one, two, three}; switch (enum probe) { case one: case two: case three: } Its a very simple example. I hope to help you.

@Felicia I am sorry about your math skills and I care that you said it. However, your post has nothing to do with this question so needs to be deleted. Please avoid off topic posts in the future. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/321242/?ref=app
