#include <stdio.h>


int main() {
    char ch;
    char* gas;


    printf("Enter a gas cylinder's color: ");
    scanf("%c", &ch);


    switch (ch) {
    case 'o':
    case 'O':
        gas = "Ammonia";
        break;
    case 'b':
    case 'B':
        gas = "Carbon monoxide";
        break;
    case 'y':
    case 'Y':
        gas = "Hydrogen";
        break;
    case 'g':
    case 'G':
        gas = "Oxygen";
        break;
