Switch Case statement

[seanfmglobal]

Can I have a Switch case statement inside another? For ex.

switch(variableOne){
case 1:
   blah blah blah blah;
   blah blah blah blah;
         switch (variableTwo){
                 case 1:
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       break;
                 case 2:
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       break;
                      }
break;
case 2:
   blah blah blah blah;
   blah blah blah blah;
         switch (variableThree){
                 case 1:
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       break;
                 case 2:
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       blah blah blah blah;
                       break;
                      }
break
default:
System.out.println("Error");
}

of course. Why can't you
Try this same code. It'll work perfectly fine

Well when i use

System.out.printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n", "1. Circle", "2. Rectangle", "3.Square", "4. Triangle", "5. Cone", "Cylinder");
		int selectionOne = input.nextInt();
		
		switch(selectionOne)
		{
			case 1:
				System.out.println("What is the Radius of the Circle? ");
				int R1 = input.nextInt();
				System.out.println("What is the Diameter of the Circle? ");
				int D1 = input.nextInt();
				Circle C1 = new Circle(D1, R1);
				System.out.println("1 for Area, and 2 for Perimeter: ");
				int asking = input.nextInt();
				Switch(asking){
					case 1:
						System.out.println(C1.getArea());
						break;
					case 2:
						System.out.println(C1.getPerimeter());
						break;
					default:
						System.out.println("System Error");
				}
		}

I'm getting duplicate case errors???

I don't find anything wrong still.
Just to make sure I copied your code and compiled and ran. No problems, except that second switch is misspelled (S is in upper case).

In your original example it looked you had a duplicate case (2) error in your outer switch statement because of misleading indentation. Please post your code verbatim, not a sloppily crafted copy thereof; we have to see what you saw.

kind regards,

You spelled Switch with a capital S. Its lowercase.
