It’s because of data types. ‘0’ and 0 are not the same thing, ‘0’ means a character. Here is the corrected code: #include <stdio.h> int main() { int i = 0; switch (i) { case 0: printf("IXEL"); break; case 1: printf("FOR"); break; default: printf("TRAINING"); } return 0; }

'0' is a char data type so to correct it you should write case 0: and case 1:
