Using || in Cases in a Switch?

Question

So for a college lab for Java Fundamentals I'm having trouble. I have to set up a switch and inside that switch a case. There are 3 options for user input, and each option can be answered with letter. The problem is that this letter is allowed to be capital OR lower case, and the problem is I cant seem to figure out how to set it up so a case will allow either of those. In the code below..crustType is defined as a char. Keep in mind this is Java Fundamentals and we're just learning about switches, unfortunately our PPT for this doesn't explain what to do in this situation. ``` switch (crustType) { case (crustType == 'H' || crustType == 'h'): crust = "Hand-tossed"; System.out.println("You have selected 'Hand-Tossed' crust for your pizza."); break; case (crustType == 'T' || crustType == 't'): crust = "Thin-crust"; System.out.println("You have selected 'Thin-Crust' crust for your pizza."); break; case (crustType == 'D' || crustType == 'd'): crust = "Deep-dish"; System.out.println("You ha…

Accepted Answer

Use:

```
case 'H':
case 'h':
    ...
    break;
case 'T':
case 't':
    ...
    break;
```

instead. Since the type of `crustType` is `char`, then what goes in `case`s must be of `char` type. When you put something like

```
crustType == 'H'
```

you will get an error because that expression returns a `boolean`.
