Question

In this situation, for example, if $(this).text() becomes 0, it will not work since in the switch 0 is not equal to “0”.

In my assignment, I cannot remove ” ” from case.

So basically $(this).text() has to become a string somehow. Any ideas?

Thanks!

...
$( '.xyz' ).click( function()...
  var key = $(this).text();
  switch( key ) {
    case "0":
    case "00":
    case "1":
    case "2":
    case "3":
    case "4":
    case "5":
    case "6":
    case "7":
    case "8":
    case "9":
    ...

Try this

var key = String($(this).text());
