Switch case help ?

Hi all this is my code

Code:

            #include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

void prompt1();
int  prompt2();
void greeting();

int
main()
{
  prompt1();
  switch (prompt2()) {
  case 1:
    cout<<"Well? ";
    greeting();
    break;
  case 2:
    cout<<"Meanie"<<endl;
    break;
  default:
    cout<<"Huh?"<<endl;
    break;
  }

  return 0;
}

void
prompt1()
{
  char answer[50];

  cout<<"How are you? ";
  cin.getline(answer, 50);
  cout<<"You are: "<< answer <<endl;
}

int
prompt2()
{
  int answer;

  cout<<"Aren't you going to ask how I am?\n";
  cout<<"1) Yes\n2) No\n: ";
  cin>> answer;
  cin.ignore();

  return answer;
}

void
greeting()
{
  char greeting[50];

  cin.getline(greeting, 50);
  if (strcmp(greeting, "How are you?") != 0) {
    cout<<"You still haven't asked me how I am!"<<endl;
  }
  else {
    cout<<"I'm fine, thank you."<<endl;
  }
}

When i have typed "1" it says well then i type something and the box closes i've tried using multiple cin.get;'s but not much seems to work anyone got any ideas?

When all else fails, try this:

Code:

int
main()
{
  prompt1();
  switch (prompt2()) {
  case 1:
    cout<<"Well? ";
    greeting();
    break;
  case 2:
    cout<<"Meanie"<<endl;
    break;
  default:
    cout<<"Huh?"<<endl;
    break;
  }
  char ch;
  while (cin.get(ch) && ch != '\n') {
    // Nothing goes here
  }
  cin.get();

  return 0;
}

plz may u put that in english lol ?!?!i copy and pasted it and it said it had 9 errors!! all i want it to do is for it to stay open and deliver the final message

>plz may u put that in english lol ?!?!
English doesn't compile.

>i copy and pasted it and it said it had 9 errors!!
You probably didn't integrate the code properly (translation: You cut and pasted wrong). This is the code that works for me and should work for you as well.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

void prompt1();
int  prompt2();
void greeting();

int
main()
{
  prompt1();
  switch (prompt2()) {
  case 1:
    cout<<"Well? ";
    greeting();
    break;
  case 2:
    cout<<"Meanie"<<endl;
    break;
  default:
    cout<<"Huh?"<<endl;
    break;
  }
  char ch;
  while (cin.get(ch) && ch != '\n') {
    // Nothing goes here
  }
  cin.get();

  return 0;
}


void
prompt1()
{
  char answer[50];

  cout<<"How are you? ";
  cin.getline(answer, 50);
  cout<<"You are: "<< answer <<endl;
}

int
prompt2()
{
  int answer;

  cout<<"Aren't you going to ask how I am?\n";
  cout<<"1) Yes\n2) No\n: ";
  cin>> answer;
  cin.ignore();

  return answer;
}

void
greeting()
{
  char greeting[50];

  cin.getline(greeting, 50);
  if (strcmp(greeting, "How are you?") != 0) {
    cout<<"You still haven't asked me how I am!"<<endl;
  }
  else {
    cout<<"I'm fine, thank you."<<endl;
  }
}

p.s. iostream.h is an antiquated header. If your compiler doesn't support the following program, I highly recommend you get a new compiler so that I don't have to keep dumbing down my code so that it'll compile for you.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int
main()
{
  cout<<"Hello, world!"<<endl;
}

If that program does compile and run, please start using the newer headers as just about everyone here will be giving you code in modern C++.
