return a param to main method then using switch
Hi there,
I am trying to call on a method, and define a parameter to be passed back up to the main method. From there I am trying to use a switch statement to print out different messages. However, the param is never passed back to the main. Below is the code. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks much....
