In C++, switch will only work with data types that hold integer value such as int, enum, char (char also holds integer value) and so on. It won't work with floating-point like float or double. It won't also work with string

int main() { char a = 'c'; switch(a) { case 'a': cout << "it's a"; break; case 'b' : cout << "it's b"; break; case 'c': cout << "it's c"; break; default: cout << "it's something else"; } return 0; }
