    Case error, desperatly need help!!!

    Hi,

    I have a question which is an error that bothers me and I canīt figure it out. I am doing menus, and using switch, so on the third case thereīs an error which says

    'case bypasses initialization of a local variable'

    could someone please explain what this means, another thing when I erase that case the program runs perfectly. Just for you to know, that case only has cout<<"text" lines, not any actual function etc. please could you help me out?

    You have declared variables inside the cases. Either move them outside the switch-statement or surround each case with '{}'.
