    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;
    
    }
    
    }
    ok, i know this doesn't work cause i've tried it, but as an example i think you can see what i'm trying to do. if you have any input please, do tell!!

    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;
    
    }
    
    }
    The little single quotes should do it for ya.
