Help writing a program using a switch statement

Show all headers | View raw

 Write a program using switch statement to allow users to choose an item of a menu. For example, the menu looks like the following.

File menu
1. Open
2. Close
3. Save
4. Exit
Enter your choice: 
If you type 1, then your program should print out "Open is selected" (double quotes not included). 

Notice:
(1) Using Scanner to get user choice;
(2) If the number user input is not in {1,2,3,4}, your program should let user know that. 

Here's what I have:

public static void main (String[]  args)  {

int user = 1

switch (1) {
case value: 1
System.out.println ("Open is selected");
break;
case value: 2
System.out.println ("Close is selected");
break;
case value: 3
System.out.println ("Save is selected")
break;
System.out.println ("Exit is selected")
default:
values_not_caught_above;

}

Can someone tell me if I'm headed in the right direction?

Any guidance would be much appreciated, thank you.
