Thread: Switch-case statement jumps to default instead of a case

Perhaps "wordToShort" isn't returning what you exect, or some such? Add a temporary variable, assign it with wordToShort, and switch on the variable - then modify the code to print the variable before the switch.

What is the input and what do you get as output if you follow my suggestion?

I'm still 99.99% sure that the problem is in your code, not the compilers.

Yes, that's another alternative...
