  1. HOME
  2. C
  3. Statement
  4. switch Statement

Requirements

Read two numbers and one operators.

Conduct the operation based on the operator.

Check Division by zero error

Hint

Use switch statement to check the operator.

Demo

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  double number1 = 0.0;          /* First operand value a decimal number  */
  double number2 = 0.0;          /* Second operand value a decimal number */
  char operation = 0;            /* Operation - must be +, -, *, /, or %  */
  printf("\nEnter the calculation\n");
  scanf("%lf %c %lf", &number1, &operation, &number2);

  switch(operation)
  {//from w w w . j  a va2s  . c o  m
    case '+':                 
      printf("= %lf\n", number1 + number2);
      break;

    case '-':                  
      printf("= %lf\n", number1 - number2);
      break;

    case '*':                
      printf("= %lf\n", number1 * number2);
      break;                              

    case '/':
      if(number2 == 0)       
        printf("\n\n\aDivision by zero error!\n");
      else
        printf("= %lf\n", number1 / number2);
      break;

    case '%':            // Check second operand for zero
      if((long)number2 == 0) 
         printf("\n\n\aDivision by zero error!\n");
      else
        printf("= %ld\n", (long)number1 % (long)number2);
      break;

    default:                     // Operation is invalid if we get to here
      printf("\n\n\aIllegal operation!\n");
      break;
  }
  return 0;
}
