PROGRAM EXPLANATION

Algorithm and explanation

  1. Initialize the sample values used to use match case for a menu.
  2. Apply match and case to compute the required result.
  3. Display the result for use match case for a menu and compare it with the documented sample output.

This example of use match case for a menu computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates match and case and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST

Common mistakes

Check this

For use match case for a menu, keep the data shape and value types consistent with match.

Check this

Apply match in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.

Check this

Verify the final match and case result against the sample before trying new data.

Try it yourself

Practice: Run the program with the sample input, predict its output, and then test one boundary case of your own.
