Question

//It's printing the default value,how do i get the //first value printed??

class Tester{

public static void main(String[]ar){

char a='a';

switch (a){

case 1:

System.out.println("X's a");

break;

case 2:{

System.out.println("X's 2");

break;}

default:

{System.out.println("No X");

break;}

}}}

Answer 1

hi dude the ascii value of 'a' is 97 which is taken as value of a in switch as there is no case 97 default value gets printed

Answer 2

hi buddy ,

the reason it is printing the defualt value, is because java compilers

take the ascii equivalent of a which is 97

to make it print the first value , you can say

case 65 : instead of 1 and it should work
