<p>This program ask the user to enter his or her weight and the name of a planet

Question

<p>This program ask the user to enter his or her weight and the name of a planet. The program was then to output how much the user would weigh on that planet. Rewrite this program so that the selection of the factor to use in computing the weight is made with a Switch statement instead of an if structure.The program should output an error message if the user doesn't type a correct planet name. The prompt and the error message should make it clear to the user how a planet name must be entered.</p>
<p>// Write a that asks the user to enter his or her weight and the name of a planet.</p>
