Using the Switch statement with Characters?

To Whomever Can help Me;

Is it possible to use the Switch structure for characters? For example:

switch(char)
{
case 1:char = 'b'
.
.
.
I'm trying to do it, but having trouble. Is this even possible? Any help would be great! Thanks!

It is possible:

Code:

char choice;
printf("Enter a letter...:");
scanf("%c", choice);
switch (choice) {
  case 'a': {
  ...
  }
  case 'b': {
  ...
  }
}

try that

Yes, chars and ints can be used in switches. But don't name a variable 'char' it's a keyword y'know? Also, the label cannot be a variable name, see below:

Code:

char a = 'a';
char b = 'a';

switch(a){
 case b: a = 'x'; break; // <-- illegal.
 case 't': a = 'z'; break;
 case 12 : a = 'r'; break;
 default: a = 'p';
}
