    switch(name[20]){
        case \"kevin\" : 
             


        

Answer 1

No, you cannot use the switch statement in C with the value of a string or character array. The closest alternative is to use some sort of data structure mapping strings to function pointers. The function pointer could be called after a string is used to look it up.
