I need help with how to replace the if else statements in this program with a switch statement. Positive response will be appreciated
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Switch {
public static void main(String [] args){
// create new Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");
int value = input.nextInt();
//executute the if else statements for desired output
if (value % 5 == 0) {
System.out.println("HI FIVE");
}
else if (value % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("HI EVEN"); }
else { System.out.println("The ineger value you entered is neither even nor odd"); }}}
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Switch {
public static void main(String [] args){
// create new Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");
int value = input.nextInt();
//executute the if else statements for desired output
if (value % 5 == 0) {
System.out.println("HI FIVE");
}
else if (value % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("HI EVEN"); }
else { System.out.println("The ineger value you entered is neither even nor odd"); }}}

Here's a basic case statment in Java:
int intMonth = 1;
String strMonthName;
switch (intMonth) {
case 1: strMonthName = "Jan";
break;
case 2: strMonthName = "Feb";
break;
(continue all valid cases)
default: strMonthName = "This is not a valid month"; //if it doesn't match any of the above, it will use this
break;
}
I didn't look through the code you posted because it was all slammed together.When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic. -

My understanding of switch is that it is used to evaluate one expression for seperate conditions. You are using two seperate expressions. Switch is used for cases like String strAnimal = "goat". Is the animal a goat? A chicken? A dog? So in my understanding a switch is not the appropriate statement for what you are tying to do.When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic.
