Switch statement using or

Question

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

Answer 1

The generally accepted syntax for this is:

switch(menuChoice) {
    case 'q':
    case 'Q':
        //Some code
        break;
    case 's':
    case 'S':
        //More code
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

i.e.: Due the lack of a break, program execution cascades into the next block. This is often referred to as "fall through".

That said, you could of course simply normalise the case of the 'menuChoice' variable in this instance via toupper/tolower.
