C program to find number of days in a month using switch case

This program will read month value and print total number of days in input month in C language.

Problem statement

In this c program, we will learn how to get number of days in a month. To get number of days in a month we are using switch case statement in this program.

Problem solution

Here, we are not using break after each switch case statement because we can check multiple case values for same body.

Note: Here we are not checking leap year, so we fixed 28 days in February.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int month;

		default:
			days=0;
			break;		
	}
	
	if(days)
