    You dont.
    A switch case can only take constant values.

    What you want is probably an if-then-else statement.

    If you really want to torture yourself and anyone else looking at your code, you could do this:

    int grade = 68;
     
    switch (grade/10) {
    //stuff
        case 6:
            System.out.println("60-69");
            break;
    //stuff

    Even more !?what?!
    int grade = 68;
     
    switch (grade/20) {
    //stuff
        case 3:
            System.out.println("60-79");
            break;
    //stuff

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

    I agree, that's painful to look at, and no sane person should do that or suggest that anyone else do that.
