Yes, it is true that string is collection of chars but it creates difference in the point of memory (char=1 byte, string=size of array). So string is not allowed.

Why not character be a string because string is nothing but collection of characters?

When we say case'a' its means a charcter not a string.
And switch dnt work on string.

I guess it works on strings.
We can write cases in the form of "case 'a':".
