I'm creating a console app and using a switch
statement to create a simple menu system. User input is in the form of a single character that displays on-screen as a capital letter. However, I do want the program to accept both lower- and upper-case characters.
I understand that switch
statements are used to compare against constants, but is it possible to do something like the following?
switch(menuChoice) {
case ('q' || 'Q'):
//Some code
break;
case ('s' || 'S'):
//More code
break;
default:
break;
}
If this isn't possible, is there a workaround? I really don't want to repeat code.
This way:
switch(menuChoice) {
case 'q':
case 'Q':
//Some code
break;
case 's':
case 'S':
//More code
break;
default:
}
