Hint to determining the operation (Selection lab: Spring 2024)

You have two options:
  1. Get the operation as a string and then just work with the first character
    • For this operation, get the string
    • Then use the charAt string function to get the first character (number 0) and assign it to a character variable
    • You can use a switch statement on a character variable
  2. Get the operation as a string and use that
    • This operation requires the user to be very precise on the input. If the user adds another blank at the end, this might cause a problem.
    • If you use this option, be sure to use .equals in your selection statement
    • You cannot use a string in a switch statement.
For either option, it is best to read the string as an entire line.
