Using Enum + Switch

Question

2.00/5 (1 vote)

I want to know why my Switch statement is not working if I have something like this:

public enum cond
{ checknum,
  checkval
}
private string data()
{ cond condtype = cond.checknum;
  switch (condtype)
  { case cond.checknum:
    // ... code
    break;
  }
}

It looks like never enter in any condtype...

any idea ?

Solution 1

You forgot the colon

C#

private string data()
{ cond condtype = cond.checknum;
  switch (condtype)
  { case cond.checknum:
    // ... code
    break;
  }
}

However, this makes no sense at all. Why do you need a switch to determine what you have already set?

Exist more than one condition. Furthermore exist more than one case. I just put one to show an example. The colon was already put on the program, I just forget to put here.

If you want help then I suggest you provide a sample that show everything you are doing and/or explain everything more clearly

This is what I did seems to be working fine for me

C#

class Program
{
    public enum cond
    {
        checknum,
        checkval
    }
    static private void data()
    {
        cond condtype = cond.checknum;
        switch (condtype)
        {
            case cond.checknum:
                Console.WriteLine("I am checknum");
                break;
            case cond.checkval:
                Console.WriteLine("I am checkval");
                break;
            default:
                Console.WriteLine("I am no one");
                break;
        }
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        data();
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

I suggest you look at other areas of the code for the problem.
