Thread: Easy Question

I have been searching the boards but could not find an answer to my question. I am trying to store a word. I have tried many different things but I think the closest was this:

Code:

char x[256];

switch (input)
   {
   case 1: answer = a + b;
           char x = 'sum'; // wanting to store the word "sum"
           break;
   case 2: answer = a - b;
           char x = 'difference'; // wanting to store the word "difference"
           break;
   case 3: answer = a * b;
           char x = 'unknown'; // wanting to store the word "unknown"
           break;
   case 4: answer = a / b;
           char x = 'quotient'; // wanting to store the word "quotient"
           break;
    }

I think I am on the right track, just my syntax is wrong.

or don't declare it in the beginning...

say

char x[] = "sum";

char x[] = "difference";

etc

wherever you need it.
