    C++ Question

    The problem I have is how to do a switch where I have to call the certain choices.

    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
    do 
    {
    cout << "Hello there ." << endl;
    cout << "Select from the menu." << endl; 
    cout << "A gets lyrics." << endl; 
    cout << "B gets artist." << endl; 
    cout << "Q quits the program." << endl;
    cout << "Your choice: --> " << endl;
    cin >> user_choice; 
    
    switch (user_choice)
    {
    case 'A': lyrics 
    break; 
    case 'B': artists
    break; 
    }

    Everything looks fine except for the input. You haven't said what user_choice is (it should be a char). Then all you have to do is put what you want between "case 'A':" and "break;", etc.

    That would appear to be the question. Although there is no question mark, the use of the word "how" in the context of the overall statement infers an inherent query.
