Char in a Switch()

[FromHolland]

Another question by me!

How can I use a Char in a switch()?

I tried it like this:

char x[2];
cout<<"Write A or B";
cin>>x;


switch((char)x);
{
case("A"):
cout<<"You wrote <<x<<"!";
break;
case("B"):
cout<<"You wrote <<x<<"!";
break;
default:
cout<<"Bad input!";
}

But I get an error message saying:" case label "A" does not reduce to an integer constant "

I know it's easy to fix.. but how?

For char you would test it as 'A' not "A". The first is the intrigral value. The second is the string representation.

char x[2];
cout<<"Write A or B";
cin>>x;


switch(x[0]);
{
case('A'):
cout<<"You wrote <<x<<"!";
break;
case('B'):
cout<<"You wrote <<x<<"!";
break;
default:
cout<<"Bad input!";
}

Fixed

Thx alot! That was all I needed to know!

OW ! One more thing about your post, FillYourBrain, the code only works when I write it like

switch((char)IC) and not like switch(IC[0])

PS

I used the char name ' IC ' in my own script

what is the type if IC?
char IC[2];
or what??
