Switch Statement

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

How to use a switch statement for checking single characters? The following code didnt work. Will switch statement take only integers as condition??

AnsiString check;
switch(check.TOInt())
{
case 'a': /*something*/
break;
case 'b': /*something*/
break;
case 'c': /*something*/
break;
.
.
}

To my understanding, if you work with the type int then you should use: 'case 97:' (for 'a') etc. Or you can make your 'check' variable of type char: 'char check;', in this case you may keep the body of switch as is.

C++ does not allow the use of strings for conditions, only integers.
