Example: Simple Calculator using switch Statement
import java.util.Scanner; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter two numbers: "); // nextDouble() reads the next double from the keyboard double first = reader.nextDouble(); double second = reader.nextDouble(); System.out.print("Enter an operator (+, -, *, /): "); char operator = reader.next().charAt(0); double result; switch (operator) { case '+': result = first + second; break; case '-': result = first - second; break; case '*': result = first * second; break; case '/': result = first / second; break; // operator doesn't match any case constant (+, -, *, /) default: System.out.printf("Error! operator is not correct"); return; } System.out.println(first + " " + operator + " " + second + " = " + result); } }
Output
Enter two numbers: 1.5 4.5 Enter an operator (+, -, *, /): * 1.5 * 4.5 = 6.8
