How to use switch/cases in java to accept and pass strings?

Answer 1

Switch case in any OOP language can accept only integers and characters.

Answer 2

The first answer to your question is correct. java will NOT accept String in a switch. don't forget that char is single quote.

char condition = 'b';
decideMe( condition );

public decideMe( char condition) {
switch( condition ) {
case 'a' : System.out.println("Houston, we have an A");
break;
default : System.out.println("Houston, we have a problem");
}
}

And, to convert back to char from a String takes a charArray();

java is picky on the Types of vars (which is good);

Answer 4

switch(STRING VARIABLE)
{
case 'VALUE1':COMMAND1;break;
case 'VALUE2':COMMAND2;break;
case 'VALUE3':COMMAND3;break;
default: COMMAND4;//it is executed if non of above 3 cases do not meet your condition.
//STRING VARIABLE should be a char.
}
