Assigning Responses to a Case

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to assign certain responses to a case statement. This is an example of what I want to do;

C#

switch(e.result.text)
{
    case "Tell me a joke":
        synthesizer.speakasync("Why did the chicken cross the road?");
        break;
        
        if(case == "I don't know")
            synthesizer.speakasync("to get to the other side");
            break;

        else if(case == " ")
            synthesizer.speakasync("Take a Guess");
            break;
}

Is it possible to do this or not? I've tried a lot of things like making the speech recognition engine a variable and creating new voids to store these responses in but it doesn't seem to be working.

Your switch syntax is wrong - you don't use if or else if for different cases:
switch (C# Reference)[^]

Other than that, it's not entirely clear what you're trying to do.

Since you use a string to return another string, using a Dictionary<string, string> would be pretty straightforward, e.g.

C#

Dictionary<string, string> response = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
  {"Tell me a joke", "Why did the chicken cross the road?"},
  {"I don't know", "to get to the other side"},
  {" ", "Take a Guess"},
};


Console.WriteLine("The answer to {0} is  {1}", "I don't know", response["I don't know"]);
