Question

My current code is not registering the switch statement will go straight to default . I also had the switch statement set to (badGrades) but that was only registering from enum f. any help will be appreciated

int i;
enum grades
   {a,b,c,d,f}badGrades;
   badGrades =f;

cout<< "Please Enter the letter grades you think you would receive"<<endl;
   cout<<"if too much time spent on favorite hobbies"<<endl;
cout<<"please enter two of the same grade use a space in between"<<endl;

   cin>>i;
  
  
   switch (i)
   {
   case d:
       if(i=='d'||i=='D')
       cout<<i<<endl;
       break;
   case f:
       cout<<"Your Grade is an F you will fail"<<endl;
       break;
   case c:
   case b:
       cout<<"you have been managing your time wisely"<<endl;
       break;
   case a:
       cout<<"good job at juggling school and your hobbies"<<endl;
       default:
       cout<<" this is not an actual grade please try again"<<endl;
   }

system("pause");
;
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

In C++, the switch statement takes an int argument, and you are trying to use it with a char, which you can not do in C++.
