Case switch question .

[Gmoney2015]

Write your question here.
Why is it that I can only input four letters in a case. it only allows case 'feb':

example: case 'February': is a error

any help would be great.

thanks
try to get this!

As far as I know, cases only take characters or integers, not strings. Have you tried 'feb' and gotten it to compile?

Yes, but I need to input the whole month. I have tried to do a if statements but that just turns out wrong as well.

You cant input the whole month. You need to use if statements instead of switch case.

Gmoney, try using primitive association:

"January" = 0;
"February" = 1;

...

"December" = 11;
