Below is your code all fixed up, Should have 0 problems,
The reason we dont use switch for things like you tried to do because almost
ALWAYS its for one character case checking, Its actually for numbers, but
since characters are converted into integers anyways, It accepts things like
position[0] the first letter of the array, I like your attempt, strcmp is
your best friend tho ...too bad they dont use strprefix *yes i will mention
this mroe then once: P* because now you have to do double check for strings
one with caps and one without ...strcmp being case sensitive and all ...
Let me know if theres still errors
