A good answer might be:

The correct program fragment is given below.

Here is the corrected program. It would be OK if you put a break after the statment in the default case, but it is not needed.

class Switcher { public static void main ( String[] args ) { char color = 'Y' ; String message = "Color is"; switch ( color ) { case 'R': message = message + " red" ; break; case 'O': message = message + " orange" ; break; case 'Y': message = message + " yellow" ; break; case 'G': message = message + " green" ; break; case 'B': message = message + " blue" ; break; case 'V': message = message + " violet" ; break; default: message = message + " unknown" ; } System.out.println ( message ) ; } }

Often what you really want is for several characters to select a single case. This can be done using several case statments, followed by just one list of statments. For example, here both 'y' and 'Y' select the same statement:

      case 'y':                        
      case 'Y':
        message = message + " yellow" ;
        break;

QUESTION 10:

Mentally insert extra case statements into the program so that upper and lower case characters work for each color. (Or, even better: copy the program to Notepad, fix it and run it.)
