Here are five simple examples of switch-case programs in Java.
1. Simple Calculator
This program performs a basic arithmetic operation based on a user's choice.
public class SimpleCalculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char operator = '+';
double num1 = 10.5;
double num2 = 5.5;
double result;
switch (operator) {
case '+':
result = num1 + num2;
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
break;
case '-':
result = num1 - num2;
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
break;
case '*':
result = num1 * num2;
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
break;
case '/':
result = num1 / num2;
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid operator!");
break;
}
}
}
2. Day of the Week
This example takes an integer representing a day of the week (1-7) and prints the
corresponding day name.
public class DayOfWeek {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int day = 4;
switch (day) {
case 1:
System.out.println("Monday");
break;
case 2:
System.out.println("Tuesday");
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("Wednesday");
break;
case 4:
System.out.println("Thursday");
break;
case 5:
System.out.println("Friday");
break;
case 6:
System.out.println("Saturday");
break;
case 7:
System.out.println("Sunday");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid day!");
break;
}
}
}
3. Vowel or Consonant
This program checks if a given character is a vowel or a consonant.
public class VowelOrConsonant {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char ch = 'e';
switch (ch) {
case 'a':
case 'e':
case 'i':
case 'o':
case 'u':
System.out.println(ch + " is a vowel.");
break;
default:
System.out.println(ch + " is a consonant.");
break;
}
}
}
4. Month Name from Number
This example prints the name of a month corresponding to a number (1-12).
public class MonthFromNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int month = 7;
String monthString;
switch (month) {
case 1: monthString = "January";
break;
case 2: monthString = "February";
break;
case 3: monthString = "March";
break;
case 4: monthString = "April";
break;
case 5: monthString = "May";
break;
case 6: monthString = "June";
break;
case 7: monthString = "July";
break;
case 8: monthString = "August";
break;
case 9: monthString = "September";
break;
case 10: monthString = "October";
break;
case 11: monthString = "November";
break;
case 12: monthString = "December";
break;
default: monthString = "Invalid month";
break;
}
System.out.println(monthString);
}
}
5. Nested Switch
This program shows how a switch statement can be nested within another switch statement.
public class NestedSwitchExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char branch = 'C';
int year = 3;
switch(year) {
case 1:
System.out.println("English, Math, Science");
break;
case 2:
switch(branch) {
case 'C':
System.out.println("Operating System, Java,
Data Structure");
break;
case 'E':
System.out.println("Microprocessors, Logic
switching");
break;
case 'M':
System.out.println("Thermodynamics,
Engineering Mechanics");
break;
}
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("Computer Organization, Database,
Networking");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid Year or Branch!");
}
}
}
