A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types.
It also works with enumerated types (discussed in Enum Types), the String
class, and a few special classes that wrap certain primitive types:
Character , Byte , Short , and Integer (discussed in Numbers and Strings).
int day = 4;
switch (day) {
case 6:
System.out.println("Today is Saturday");
break;
case 7:
System.out.println("Today is Sunday");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Looking forward to the Weekend");
}
// Outputs "Looking forward to the Weekend"
