How do I use a character in a switch-case? I will be getting the first letter of whatever the user inputs.
import javax.swing.*;
public class SwitchCase {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String hello = "";
hello = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input a letter: ");
char hi = hello;
switch(hi) {
case 'a': System.out.println("a");
}
}
}
public class SwitCase {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String hello = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input a letter: ");
char hi = hello.charAt(0); // get the first char.
switch(hi) {
case 'a': System.out.println("a");
}
}
}
Using a char when the variable is a string won't work. Using
switch (hello.charAt(0))
you will extract the first character of the hello variable instead of trying to use the variable as it is, in string form. You also need to get rid of your space inside
case 'a '
