switch (n) { case (n==0): return ""; case (n>0 && n<20) : return "ada"**;** } It's not that you're just missing a semi-colon there is it...

Hi, switch (n) { case (n==0): return ""; case (n>0 && n<20) : return "ada"; } gives the folowing error cannot convert bool to int

You get that error message because you have a bool expression in the case statement. You can't have expressions in the case statement, only constants. You can only have distinct values, not ranges.

switch (n) {
case 0: return string.Empty;
case 1: return "one";
case 2: return "two"
default: return "other";
}

If you want to use ranges, you have to use if statements instead. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

The frustrating thing is that you will have to use if statements in C# to do this....
