ios how can implement a switchs/case with string?

Question

I want to implement a switchs/case where I can use a string to evaluate the switch case.

switch (tmp) {            
    case one: 
        NSLog(@"the string value of tmp is one");
        break;

any of you knows how can I implement something like this?

I really appreciate your help

You can not use string in switch case statement, you can use only int or char data type. But as i think your question is to make switch case more easy to understandable or readable. So you can make enum for that, like:

typedef enum {
    zero,//by default the value starts from zero. 
    one,
    two
} NumCount;

At the point you have use it.

NumCount tmp = one;

switch (tmp) {            
    case one: 
        NSLog(@"the string value of tmp is one");
        break;
}

I think you understand what i want to say. If you have any doubt please ask from me.

I think the question is not correctly posted and that's why you posted this answer but you are not using strings, you are actually using integers in your `switch` – danypata Jun 06 '13 at 21:28
