Switch Statements

Question

Hi,

I am new to learning c# and I am currently trying to unpick the errors in a piece of code as practice. I feel clear on what a switch statement is, but I can't see how to correct it to make it work.

I have two questions, the first is can the case value be a situation/scenario, eg. 'when a value is lower than....' or does it have to be an absolute value?

 

Secondly, does the output of a switch statement have to be a text string or can it be an instruction?

 

Below is the code I am trying to unravel. Any help, much appreciated.

int high, low, number = 0, count = 0, values = 0, total;

float average;

high = -32768;

low = 32767;

number = 0 = count = total = 0;

while(number < 1)

{

Console.WriteLine("\nEnter a Number for repetitions:");

number = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

if(number < 1)

Console.WriteLine("\nNumber must be greater than 1");

}

for (count = 0; count < number; count++)

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter number {0} : ", count+1);

values = Console.ReadLine();

Switch(values);

{

case (values > high) : Console.WriteLine("high = values");

break;

case (values < low) : low = values;

break;

default;

break;

}

total = total + values;

}

average = total/ number;

Console.WriteLine("\nAverage of {0} numbers is {1}", number, average);

Console.WriteLine("nHighest is {2}. Lowest is {3}", high, low);

//

Console.ReadLine();

}

}

}
