Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression in the switch statement must evaluate to an integer result. This means that only choice C (integer) is a valid option. A compilation error will result if any other data type is used as the expression in the switch statement. The switch statement accepts an expression that evaluates to an integer result. This means that option C, integer, is the correct answer. Options A and D are incorrect because the switch statement cannot accept char or long as expressions. Option B, boolean, is also incorrect because the switch statement does not accept boolean expressions.
