c++

I am trying to use switch with strings in c++, and since I found out its required to convert the strings to char I have been trying to this but it does not work. I know it would be easy to use if and else if blocks but I really want to see how switch with strings would work. Would appreciate any help. thanks!

you can use this example:

string name;

cout<<"enter name:"<

cin>>name;

switch(name){

case ("Pai"):

cout<

case ("Bicho"):

cout <<"animal"<

deafault:

cout<<"nao e familia nem animal"<

}
