Question

Can I make the name of the view the parameter for a switch statement? If so what would I use in the switch?

[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View1"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View2"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View3"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View4"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View5"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View6"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View7"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View8"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View9"]];
[self addChildViewController:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View10"]];

Depending on the view name I want to display a different bit of text in a label. So I want a switch where the cases are the name of the views I just don’t know how to return the name of the views so I can check against them.

Thanks.

You cannot pass NSString to a switch statement in objective C without getting the following error.

error: statement requires expression of integer type (‘NSString *’ invalid)

Use an if statement instead and check isEqualToString
