Similar to if statements, switch cases operate the same way — by prefixing the keyword with the “@“ sign:

@{ int number = 2 } @switch (number) { case 1: <h1>The value is 1!</h1> break; case 2: <h1>The value is 2!</h1> break; default: ... }

In the code above we’re evaluating an expression, number, and simply comparing the values to each case. If a value matches the expression, then the associated code block will be executed.

In this case, since the variable number is equal to 2, then the following HTML would be executed:

<h1>The value is 2!</h1>

Instructions

1.

You’ve received some exam results but there’s some useful feedback missing.

We’ll be evaluating the cases based on the value of your grade.

Open a switch statement and use the variable grade as the expression you’ll be comparing to each case.

2.

For the first case, we want to check whether the grade is equal to A. If so, display the following message in an <h4> heading:

Excellent job!
3.

Continue switch cases and display the following feedback <h4> headings depending on the grade:

Grade Feedback
“A” “Excellent job!”
“B” “Well done!”
“C” “Needs some work!”
“D” “You passed”
“F” “You failed, better try next time”
default case “Invalid grade!”
