Given an int variable status, write a switch statement that prints out, on a line by itself, the appropriate label from the above list based on status

HTTP is the protocol that governs communications between web servers and web clients (i.e. browsers). Part of the protocol includes a status code returned by the server to tell the browser the status of its most recent page request. Some of the codes and their meanings are listed below:

200, OK (fulfilled) 403, forbidden 404, not found 500, server error

Given an int variable status, write a switch statement that prints out, on a line by itself, the appropriate label from the above list based on status.

This is what I have for my code but it's still not working and I am unsure as to why.

switch ( status ){
case 200: System.out.println("OK(fulfilled)");
break;
case 403: System.out.println("forbidden");
break;
case 404: System.out.println("not found");
break;
case 500: System.out.println("server error");
break;

}

The error I get is "The value of _stdout is incorrect."

Would you be able to post your entire source code? Have you tried using the default case as shown below?

public void run() { //enter a test case here to see if your console prints the output: int status = readInt("Enter case here: "); switch ( status ){ case 200: System.out.println("OK(fulfilled)"); break; case 403: System.out.println("forbidden"); break; case 404: System.out.println("not found"); break; case 500: System.out.println("server error"); break;
//Try the default case here: default: break; }
}
}

I had the same problem and figured out you're supposed to use System.out.print(""), because it's supposed to be entered on a line by itself.
