help with case switching or char

can u use char with case switches or is there something you can do that is similar (i.e)

Code:

---


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main();

{

char a;

cout "please choose a-c\n";
cout "input :";

cin.get();

cin>> a;

switch ( a )
{

case a:
cout<<"a";
cin.get();
break;

case b:
cout<<"b";
cin.get();
break;

case c:
cout<<"c";
cin.get();
break;

}

}
