Thread: Need help with Changing Switch Function to if/else statements

I have a switch function but i need to change it to if/else statements that have the same result, please help! I have tried several times but am not getting the result. This is the switch function I need to change:

Code:

int check_vowel(char c){   
     switch(c) {
            case 'a':
            case 'A':
            case 'e':
            case 'E':
            case 'i':
            case 'I':
            case 'o':
            case 'O':
            case 'u':
            case 'U':
              return 1;
            default:
              return 0;
        }
    }

In the future, you should post what you've tried so we can help you fix the problems.

Sorry, I've tried

Code:

int check_vowel(char c){   
 if(c == 'A'||'a'||'E'||'e'||'I'||'i'||'O'||'o'||'U'||'u'){
        return 1;
    }else{
        return 0;
    }
}

but this doesn't seem to work to return the same as the the switch statement when I call the function check_vowel

You can't combine an if() statement like that, you need both sides of the comparison for each comparison.

Code:

if(c == 'a' || c == 'b' || c == 'c' || etc...

Also be sure you're supposed to be using the logical or, and not using chained if-else:

Code:

if(c == 'a')
    // ...
else if ...
