Question

HTTP is the protocol that governs communications between web servers and web clients (i.e. browsers). Part of the protocol includes a status code returned by the server to tell the browser the status of its most recent page request. Some of the codes and their meanings are listed below: 200, OK (fulfilled) 403, forbidden 404, not found 500, server error Given an int variable status, write a switch statement that prints out the appropriate label from the above list based on status.

Answer 1

Answer:

A switch statement is a set of different outputs depending on the number of criteria asked to follow.

Given an integer number as a variable status, the algorithm would state as the following:

       int num

       switch (num) {

           case 200:

               printf(OK);

               break;

           case 403:

               printf(Fobidden);

               break;

           case 404:

               printf(Not Found);

               break;

           case 500:

               printf(Server Error);

               break;

           default:

               printf(Not a proper value);

               break;

       }

Depends on the value of hte variable "num", it will fall in one of the options above. If the variable has a different value that doesn't fit in any of the options above, it will prompt the default message.
