I haven't been on C++ lately, but my friend challenged me to a competition, which is basically make a source port of his program to C++.
I'm trying out this code that i wrote in scratch:
Code:
switch(var){
case "blah":
statement;
break;
case "stuff":
statement;
break;
default:
return 0;
break;
}

If there's an alternative way without using the 'if', 'else', 'else if' conditions, that's great!
Thanks! Very Happy

You can't use switch on type String in c++, but look at that for a hackaround.

Is this what you want??
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include<strings.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   
char var[100];
cin>>var;
while(!strcmp(var,"blah"))
{
//do something
cout<<"blah";
goto here;
break;
}
while(!strcmp(var,"stuff"))
{
//do stuff
cout<<"stuff";
goto here;
break;
}
return 0;
here:
cout<<" here";
    return 0;
}


if you want more ways.. tell me

Using while loops and goto is fairly bad practice to simulate a switch or if/then tree. (You should avoid goto all together with programming.)
