c++ - How to use strings with switch

Question

I am brand new to programming. I have only learned up to functions in c++ so far, so please answer with in the scope of my knowledge.

I am working of a bank account program and I want to use a switch to get the user to input whether they want to deposit or withdraw.

I know I can use an int or even a char and do some like “D” for deposit but that’s not what I want to do.

I want to able to use the whole string “deposit” with the switch statement.

Thank you!

The switch statement in c++ only supports integer types or values that can be evaluated to an integer. At best you could write a function to evaluate your strings to an integer as mentioned here
