    Switch

    I got the foilowing code:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    main()
    {
    
            int x;
            printf("Write a number: \n");
            scanf("%d", &x);
            switch (x);
            {
                    case 1: {  printf("A\n"); break; }
                    case 2: {  printf("AA\n"); break; }
                    case 3: {  printf("AAA\n"); break; }
                   default: {  printf("Wrong Number\n"); break; }
            }
    
    }
    i don't know what is the problem but when try compile i get this:

    gcc -o switch switch.c
    switch.c: In function `main':
    switch.c:11: case label not within a switch statement
    switch.c:12: case label not within a switch statement
    switch.c:13: case label not within a switch statement
    switch.c:14: `default' label not within a switch statement
    switch.c:11: break statement not within loop or switch
    switch.c:12: break statement not within loop or switch
    switch.c:13: break statement not within loop or switch
    switch.c:14: break statement not within loop or switch

    any ideas?

    get rid of the {} braces on each case statement
    and you have an extra semi-colon in there

    Code:
    switch (x);
            {
                    case 1: {  printf("A\n"); break; }
                    case 2: {  printf("AA\n"); break; }
                    case 3: {  printf("AAA\n"); break; }
                   default: {  printf("Wrong Number\n"); break; }
            }
    You don't need the ";" after the switch (x)


    EDIT: Ah, Kermit, too quick for me.
