He's barely getting to if statements. getting him to do that made me happy enough, so I figured I would just leave case statements. But yes, as sina said, that would do the trick as well. So, to explain: a case statement just sets up all your conditionals (and the compiler can actually optomise more). so switch is your if (direction == bit, and then you just use case statements to set up the rest of the condition.
So:
switch(exit)
{
default:
//this is your bottom else statement, if 1a, else if b, else ...
break; //you want to break, otherwise execution just falls through
case "north":
//do something with the user going north here.
break;
case "south":
//do something else.
break;
}
