Functionality of SWITCH Statement

Question

How do you use the switch statement in Java? I'm a complete beginner.

I've worked with Javascript when designing web sites, so I have some very basic programming experience.

I found this one - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/338206/switch-statement-with-strings-in-java — naveencgr8, Apr 11 '13 at 16:45

but when I'm writing codes in this software I feel something similar to JAVA coding

That is because you are writing Java, since BlueJ is nothing that an IDE for Java, not a language. So, answering your question, if you want a switch statement, write a Java switch statement:

switch (variable) {
    case option1:
        //code
    break;
    case option2:
        //other code
    break;
}

Thanks you guys for telling me that BLUEJ is an IDE for JAVA, then I started searching for JAVA switch statement.

I found an article with simple examples that would explain to any beginner like me what is SWITCH statement.

Thanks everyone for your answers and valuable time.

Btw, it's "Java" not "JAVA." It's not an acronym, just a plain ol' name. – yshavit Apr 11 '13 at 17:29
