How would you rewrite this using a switch statement?

Question

String checkZero(int x)
    {
        String s;
        if (x == 0)
                s = "zero";
        else
                s = "non-zero";
        return s;
    }

 Which do you think is the best choice for this method? Why?

Switch statements are for many options.

If you mean C/C++, a tertiary operator will be the shortest.

s = x==0?"zero":"non-zero";

Still smaller:

s = x? "non-zero" : "zero";

Smallest:

s = (x?"non-":"") + "zero";

Have fun!

String checkZero(int x){
  switch(x){
    case(0):
      //whatever
    default:
      //whatever
  }
  return s;
}

doesn't really matter what way you do it, i find switch statements are cleaner to look at
