Previously we learned about switch case statements and now, we will write the switch case example in C.


Switch Case Example in C: Odd-Even

Program:- Write a C program using a switch case to check whether the number entered by the user is odd or even.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int number;

  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d",&number);

  switch( number%2 )
  {
    case 0:
      printf("%d is even.", number);
      break;
    case 1:
      printf("%d is odd.", number);
  }

  return 0;
}

Output for the different test-cases:-

Enter a number: 8
8 is even.

Enter a number: 9
9 is odd.

Switch case example in C: Check character is vowel or not

Program:- Write a C program to checks whether a character entered by the user is a vowel or not by using the switch case statement.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   char ch;

   printf("Enter a character: ");
   scanf("%c", &ch);

   switch(ch)
   {
     case 'a':
     case 'e':
     case 'i':
     case 'o':
     case 'u':
     case 'A':
     case 'E':
     case 'I':
     case 'O':
     case 'U':
       printf("%c is vowel.", ch);
       break;
     default:
       printf("%c is not a vowel.", ch);
  }

  return 0;
}

Output for the different test-cases:-

Enter a character: K
K is not a vowel.

Enter a character: a
a is vowel.

If any character either in upper case or lower case is ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’ then the character is vowel otherwise it may be constant or space or special word. In this program, we have written a switch case. The case label becomes true if the character is a vowel. When the match is not found then the default statement will be executed.

Program:- Write a menu-driven C program to find the area of the circle, area of the triangle and area of the rectangle according to the user’s input choice.

The area is given by,
circle = ℼ*r2
triangle = 0.5*base*height
rectangle = length*breadth

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  float r, area, base, height, l, b;
  int choice;

  printf("1. Area of a circle\n");
  printf("2. Area of a triangle\n");
  printf("3. Area of a rectangle\n");
  printf("Enter your choice: ");
  scanf("%d", &choice);

  switch(choice)
  {
    case 1:
      printf("Enter the radius of the circle: ");
      scanf("%f",&r);
      area = 3.14 * r * r;
      printf("Area of circle = %.2f",area);
      break;

    case 2:
      printf("Enter the base and height of the triangle: ");
      scanf("%f %f",&base, &height);
      area = 0.5 * base * height;
      printf("Area of triangle = %.2f",area);
      break;

    case 3:
      printf("Enter the length and breadth of the rectangle: ");
      scanf("%f %f",&l, &b);
      area = l*b;
      printf("Area of circle = %.2f",area);
      break;

    default:
      printf("Invalid choice.");
  }

  return 0;
}

Output for the different test-cases:-

1. Area of a circle
2. Area of a triangle
3. Area of a rectangle
Enter your choice: 1
Enter the radius of the circle: 5
Area of circle = 78.50

1. Area of a circle
2. Area of a triangle
3. Area of a rectangle
Enter your choice: 2
Enter the base and height of the triangle: 10 25
Area of triangle = 125.00

1. Area of a circle
2. Area of a triangle
3. Area of a rectangle
Enter your choice: 3
Enter the length and breadth of the rectangle: 8 6
Area of circle = 48.00

Program:- Write a menu-driven C program to convert a given year into,

  1. Months
  2. Days
  3. Hours
  4. Minutes
  5. Seconds

For simplicity don’t include leap year, use
1 Year = 365 days
1 Month = 30 days

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  float year;
  double months,days,hours,minutes,seconds;
  int choice;

  printf("Enter year: ");
  scanf("%f",&year);

  printf("Convert year into,\n");
  printf("1. Months\n");
  printf("2. Days\n");
  printf("3. Hours\n");
  printf("4. Minutes\n");
  printf("5. Seconds\n");
  printf("Enter your choice: ");
  scanf("%d",&choice);

  switch(choice)
  {
    case 1:
      months = year * 12;
      printf("Months in %.2f years = %.2lf",year,months);
      break;

    case 2:
      days = year * 365;
      printf("Days in %.2f years = %.2lf",year,days);
      break;

    case 3:
      hours = year * 365 * 24;
      printf("Hours in %.2f years = %.2lf",year,hours);
      break;

    case 4:
      minutes = year * 365 * 24 * 60;
      printf("Minutes in %.2f years = %.2lf",year,minutes);
      break;

    case 5:
      seconds = year * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60;
      printf("Seconds in %.2f years = %.2lf",year,seconds);
      break;

    default:
      printf("Invalid choice.");
  }

  return 0;
}

Output for the different test-cases:-

Enter year: 5
Convert year into,
1. Months
2. Days
3. Hours
4. Minutes
5. Seconds
Enter your choice: 1
Months in 5.00 years = 60.00

Enter year: 6
Convert year into,
1. Months
2. Days
3. Hours
4. Minutes
5. Seconds
Enter your choice: 2
Days in 6.00 years = 2190.00

Enter year: .5
Convert year into,
1. Months
2. Days
3. Hours
4. Minutes
5. Seconds
Enter your choice: 5
Seconds in 0.50 years = 15768000.00
