its whatever man i figured it out. class is online, i misunderstood something. its why i came here
i just got a bit irritated reading the first few lines of your link
which says
Code
attr(C++11) - any number of attributes
condition - any expression of integral or enumeration type, or of a class type contextually implicitly convertible to an integral or enumeration type, or a declaration of a single non-array variable of such type with a brace-or-equals initializer.
statement - any statement (typically a compound statement). case: and default: labels are permitted in statement and break; statement has special meaning.
and ild never heard of attr(c++11) and i'm just like wtf is all this vocabulary, i thought i understood what a condition is, now i dont even know what i dont know wtf is going on. and i just spent like 3 hours doing practice problems, just wanna figure it out why it wouldn't work and move on.
anyway now i just think of switch as a literal switch, like a switchboard between single values each case is 1 thing only. i've gotten linked to that site a few times with random questions and it doesnt seem very novice friendly even though it has alot of beginner information
the c++ language uses a compiler to compile down your high level code to native code. the real magic happens in the compiler. one might think there's only one compiler, and that defines what c++ is. that's actually not correct. c++ is defined by a spec. anyone and their mother can write a c++ compiler as long as it adheres to the spec. the notation of c++11 is referring to the c++11 specification which came out a few years ago. it indicates that the
attr might not be available if you're using an old compiler or compiling to an older specification.
you studied oracle for a few semesters. have you looked at oracle's documentation? it gets really annoying. i know generic sql, so when i wanna look up the oracle syntax for something, i have to google it. this is the shit that pops up when i try to find out how to create a table in oracle:
Code

while it gives a lot of info, all i really wanted was an example of the syntax :/
