switch_ expression_ not_ assignable
Type '{0}' of the switch expression isn't assignable to the type '{1}' of case expressions.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the type of the expression in a
switch
statement isn't assignable to the type of the expressions in the
case
clauses.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the type of
s
(String
) isn't assignable to the type of
0
(int
):
void f(String s) {
switch (s) {
case 0:
break;
}
}
Common fixes
#
If the type of the
case
expressions is correct, then change the
expression in the
switch
statement to have the correct type:
void f(String s) {
switch (int.parse(s)) {
case 0:
break;
}
}
If the type of the
switch
expression is correct, then change the
case
expressions to have the correct type:
void f(String s) {
switch (s) {
case '0':
break;
}
}
