No. of variables in a switch statement - Java

Can you include more than one variable in a switch statement in Java?

enum Facing { North, South, East, West }

enum Forward { Right, Left }

Forward forward;

Facing facing;

Integer myNumber;

So it looks like this? And if so how would I go about implementing

switch (facing, forward) {
  case North, Right : facing 1 = East
}

I know this is wrong but wondered whether such a technique might work and how would I implement it?

Solution

  • You can do like this:

    switch(facing)
{
    case North:
         switch(forward)
         {
              case Right: // blah blah
              break;
         }
    break;
}
