convert if to switch

[arg57]

I have a long treasure hunt program which compiles ok but for the sake of better coding I was wondering how to convert these if statements to a switch if I can. any help would be appreciated

//write loop to find the treasure
	for (count = 20; count > 0; --count)
	{
		cout << " Please enter the direction which you want to move: \n";
		cin >> direction;
		cout << " You have " << count << " turns remaining\n";

		if (direction == 'n')
			cout << y++ << endl << name << " moved North\n";

		else if (direction == 's')
			cout << y-- << endl << name << " moved South\n";

		else if (direction == 'e')
			cout << x++ << endl << name << " moved East\n";

		else if (direction == 'w')
			cout << x-- << endl << name << " moved South\n";

Like

switch ( direction ) {
  case 'n':
    cout << y++ << endl << name << " moved North\n";
    break;
}
