Solution Review: What Day Is It?

Explore how to use Java's switch statement to determine the day of the week based on numeric input. Learn to handle different cases for values 1 through 7, set appropriate day strings, and manage invalid inputs with a default case. This lesson reinforces effective use of conditional statements for more readable and maintainable code.

We'll cover the following...

Solution: did you find the right day? #

Java
class HelloWorld {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        int x =3;
        String answer = "";
        switch (x) {
            case 1:
                answer = "Monday";
                break;
            case 2:
                answer = "Tuesday";
                break;
            case 3:
                answer = "Wednesday";
                break;
            case 4:
                answer = "Thursday";
                break;
            case 5:
                answer = "Friday";
                break;
            case 6:
                answer = "Saturday";
                break;
            case 7:
                answer = "Sunday";
                break;
            default:
                answer = "invalid input";
        }
        System.out.println(answer);
    }
}
