Question

See more:

Java

String month = sc. nextLine();
switch (month){
case January :
System.out.println("Hello");
break;
case JANUARY:
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
break;
case February:
System.out.println("HelloWorld56");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Hello77655");
}
}
}

What I have tried:

IT shows the error of January, JANUARY and February cannot be resolved to a variable.

You will never progress unless you make an effort actually to learn the language: Lesson: Language Basics (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language)[^].

I would try with quotes:

Java

String month = sc. nextLine();
switch (month){
case "January" :
System.out.println("Hello");
break;
case "JANUARY" :
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
break;
case "February" :
System.out.println("HelloWorld56");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Hello77655");
}
}
}
