A program combining a switch statement with static variables in a class. Based on the switch statement, a class object is dynamically created.

package switchblocks;
public class SwitchBlocks
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int input = 100;
        do
        {
            System.out.print("\n\tEnter a positive integer (0 to stop)");
            input = MyInput.readInt();
            switch (input)
            {
                case 1: A myA = new A(); break;
                case 2: B myB = new B(); break;
                default: System.out.print("\n\tNo new objects created");
            }
        } while (input > 0);
        System.out.print("\n\n\tNumber of A objects created = " + A.getA());
        System.out.print("\n\n\tNumber of B objects created = " + B.getB());
    }
}
class A
{
    private static int nobjects = 0;
    public A() { nobjects++; }
    public static int getA() { return nobjects; }
}
class B
{
    private static int nobjects = 0;
    public B() { nobjects++; }
    public static int getB() { return nobjects; }
}
