There problem here was Java have cast a character to an integer, therefore you get an ASCII value.
For instance, when you type 5 you've got 53 in ASCII. Check it taking the variable value in System.out.println();
I've tried to solve that changing month to a char type and then passing a char value to the switch control. But the problem is, getting System.in.read();
method you just can get a single character. At last you just can select between 1 to 9.
I suspect the solution is using a buffer reader. Until then, I leave you here my code:
public class MonthsOfTheYear {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws java.io.IOException{
char month;
System.out.println("Please enter a Month Number: ");
month = (char) System.in.read(); //Get an integer
//System.out.println("Actual value of :" + month);
switch (month) {
case '1': System.out.println("January");
break;
case '2': System.out.println("February");
break;
case '3': System.out.println("March");
break;
case '4': System.out.println("April");
break;
case '5': System.out.println("May");
break;
case '6': System.out.println("June");
break;
case '7': System.out.println("July");
break;
case '8': System.out.println("August");
break;
case '9': System.out.println("September");
break;
/*case '10': System.out.println("October");
break;
case '11': System.out.println("November");
break;
case '12': System.out.println("December");
break;*/
default: System.out.println("Invalid Month");
break;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
