This should do it

data <- data.frame(a=rnorm(4), b=c("a", "a", "b", "b"), c=c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE))

Display <- function(x) {
    switch(
    EXPR = class(x),
    factor = {
       print(table(x))
    },
    numeric = {
       print(summary(x))
    },
    print("not supported type")
    )
 }

 Display(data$a)
 Display(data$b)
 Display(data$c)
