asked on
switch with a string
Ola,
I want to do something like a switch but then for usage with strings.
as I understand switch is used switch ( int )
But how do i emulate switch ( String )
I am thinking of something like this
switch ( FunctionThatTransformsStri
{
case FunctionThatTransformsStri
}
how to make something like this work or what other ways are there?

also what is wrong with?:
if("while".equals(color) )
{
}
else if("yellow".equals(color) )
{
}
.....
if("while".equals(color) )
{
}
else if("yellow".equals(color) )
{
}
.....

with more then 2 options anything other then a switch will result in performance loss
also using a switch statment one can group situation like
switch ( int )
{
case 1 :
case 2 :
// do something
break;
case 3 :
// do something else
}
and the switch simply looks much better then else if

public class SwitchString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String color = "white";
switch(color.hashCode())
{
case 12:
System.out.println("Yellow
}
}
}
assuming u know the hashCode values already
