Write a C++ program that reads a number and determines whether the number is positive, negative or zero using Switch operator method

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template <typename T> int sgn(T val) {

   return (T(0) < val) - (val < T(0));

}

int main()

{

   cout << "Enter a number: ";

   int number;

   cin >> number;

   switch (sgn(number)) {

   case -1: cout << "The number is negative";

       break;

   case 0: cout << "The number is zero";

       break;

   case 1: cout << "The number is positive";

       break;

   }

}

Explanation:

You need the special sgn() function because a switch() statement can only choose from a list of discrete values (cases).

universal windows platform is an open source api created by microsoft and first introduced in windows 10. the purpose of this platform is to develop universal apps that run on windows 10, windows 10 mobile, xbox one and hololens without the need to be re-written for each. it supports windows app development using c++, c#, vb.net, and xaml. the api is implemented in c++, and supported in c++, vb.net, c#, f# and javascript. designed as an extension to the windows runtime platform first introduced in windows server 2012 and windows 8, uwp allows developers to create apps that will potentially run on multiple types of devices.
