Reply:First, add extra lines between your switch statement.





Second, you need to check for a null first before you enter your switch,








use the statement


shipcode = shipcode.toUpperCase6() to get the upper case.

Reply:Your code needs to be separated. Find a way to make the answer always capital that way you can take out the cases for lower case, or make separate cases.





The way you have it setup is...ugly. I can't even tell if it's because the switch runs into two cases or because it runs into a case without code and a break.





otherwise it will work (assuming you got no compile errors)
