== Why is this an issue?
Since Java 7, ``++String++``s can be used as ``++switch++`` arguments. So when a single ``++String++`` is tested against three or more values in an ``++if++``/``++else if++`` structure, it should be converted to a switch instead for greater readability.
*Note* that this rule is automatically disabled when the project's ``++sonar.java.source++`` is lower than ``++7++``.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
if ("red".equals(choice)) { // Noncompliant
dispenseRed();
} else if ("blue".equals(choice)) {
dispenseBlue();
} else if ("yellow".equals(choice)) {
dispenseYellow();
} else {
promptUser();
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
switch(choice) {
case "Red":
dispenseRed();
break;
case "Blue":
dispenseBlue():
break;
case "Yellow":
dispenseYellow();
break;
default:
promptUser();
break;
}
