in my c++ program i use the switch statement with a string parameter.
for example

string s;
cin >> s;
switch (s)
{
.......
}

but i get an error saying "switch quantity not an integer"... probably
the switch needs an integer parameter and probably that's the same
with C (and a char * in the example).

so... there is no way that i can use switch for a string?

i have to use IF-ELSE???
