Switch doesn't provide matching of ranges, so it's not the right
thing to use for this kind of problem.

Also, for most purposes you would be better off using the library
functions isupper() etc, rather than assuming ASCII character values.

>(switch case is compulsory)

Not in real life.

You haven't shown us the definition of getch(). (I assume it's not
entirely unlike getchar()?)

switch(ch)
{
case (ch>=65 && ch<=90):
printf("Capital Letter\n");
break;
case (ch>=97 && ch<=122):
printf("Small Case Letter\n");
break;
case (ch>=48 && ch<=57):
printf("Digit\n");
break;
default:
printf("Any other character");
}
return 0;
}

Case arguments need to be constant expressions.
The Right Way to do range checks is to not use a switch (and The Right
Way to identify digits and case of letters isn't to use range checks),
but if the switch is non-negotiable:
--------
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/*Not compiled or tested. Caveat emptor.*/

int main(void)
{
char ch;
printf("Enter any character: "); fflush(stdout);
ch=getchar();

switch(isupper(ch))
{
case 0:
switch(islower(ch))
{
case 0:
switch(isdigit(ch))
{
case 0:
printf("Other character\n");
break;
default:
printf("Digit\n");
break;
}
break;
default:
printf("Lower-case letter\n");
break;
}
break;
default:
printf("Upper-case letter\n");
break;
}

return 0;
}

Here's one option (NB:UB for non-ASCII chars):

switch((ch>>4)&((6*((ch&64)&&(((ch+5)&31)/6)))|!((ch-42)>>4))) {
case 6:
printf("Capital Letter\n");
break;
case 4:
printf("Small Case Letter\n");
break;
case 1:
printf("Digit\n");
break;
default:
printf("Any other character");
}

I'm sure it can be simplified even further, as currently the default case
will always have the switch value be == 0.

HTH, HAND.

That would seem to many to be referring to the assignment your teacher
gave you. In standard C, switch is _not_ compulsary.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char ch;
printf("Enter any character : ");
ch=getch();

As Dave pointed out, getch() is not standard C, you probably want
getchar().

switch(ch)
{
case (ch>=65 && ch<=90):

This is illegal in Std C. The closest you can get is a gcc extension
that allows
ranges:
case (65...90)

printf("Capital Letter\n");
break;
case (ch>=97 && ch<=122):

Again, a gcc extension:
case (97...122)

printf("Small Case Letter\n");
break;
case (ch>=48 && ch<=57):

Once more, in gcc only (unless any other compiler understands it):
case (48...57)

printf("Digit\n");
break;
default:
printf("Any other character");
}
return 0;

}

This gcc extension is not standard C. If your instructor is teaching
you Std C, he/she's teaching you incorrectly. If you're being taught
gcc, you probably ought to ask elsewhere (gnu.gcc.help).

This is a joke, right? You have no way of knowing that the encoding on
the target machine is such that capital letters are in the range 65-90.

And the case statement is a joke as well. (ch >= 75 && ch <- 90) is not
an integral constant, so cannot be a case label.

Kill your switch statement entirely.
Include <ctype.h>, and then use the standard isupper(), islower(),
isdigit() functions.

Of course he does. He is very likely to have a way of knowing what it
is on a given target machine. What he doesn't know is whether or not
it will work on any /other/ machine.

And the case statement is a joke as well. (ch >= 75 && ch <- 90) is not
an integral constant, so cannot be a case label.

True enough.
