like this how many case statement I can use in C & C++

u can use any no of case staments ,if u want millian no of case statements then i can't say whether it will work or not

in ur program n is an integer,so u can use this within the limit
of int

hai..
there is no limit in the cases in the switch.
the only limitation is that they should not have same cases twices.

thanks for reply
and my another question is
How cand i create dyanamic arrays in c or c++ or java

As such no restrictions are laid by C compiler..... As long as your memory size permits, you can use Switch cases....

No limit is defined in the standard, however, it depends on the size of the int. If int is 32 bits then the limit is 2^32-1. But that is not practical given system resources.

we can use only 257 cases including default statment
