Thread: code help

I have a large program i need help with, what my program does is makes a character and saves it as a text file i need i have a set variable for skill points here is my code (with most of it cut out for it has no relivance to my problem so ill make a small program that will have my problem in it

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
string spend;
int SkillPoints = 12, Switch;
cout<<" You have "<<SkillPoints<<" Points to spend do you want to spend them?(yes or no): ";
cin>>spend;
if (spend == "Yes")
{
cout<<"\n(1)magic or (2)weapons\n\n weapons cost 2 skill points magic cost 4 skill points";
cin>>Switch;
cin.ignore();
            switch ( Switch )
      {
            case 1:
            {
            SkillPoints = SkillPoints - 4;
            break;
            }
            case 2:
            {
            SkillPoints = SkillPoints - 2;
            break;
            }
            default:
            {
            cout<<"you can only type 1 or 2: ";
            cin>>Switch;
            break;
            }
       }
       cout<<"\nSpend More points? you have "<<SkillPoints<<" Points left(yes or no): ";
       cin>>Switch;
       cin.ignore();
    }  
  
else
 {
 cout<<"\nGoodbye";
 cin.get();
 }
 
 return 0;
}

what i want it to do is when you choose magic i want it to subtract 4 from SkillPoints And then tell you you have 8 points left you can spend them on magic or weapons then subtract the right amount, when there are no more points to spend or not enough to spend i want it to print your choices ie. magic magic weapons. if i need to be clearer or put my actual program on i will its just i didn't want to fill this up with code not relivent to my problem

I've been working on this program for a week and im gettin tired and i have been making little mistakes like typos im sure everyone has had days like this so forgive me if im not clear

i pressed post then went clicked stop on my brouser so i could add a little more then sent it i didn't realize it would send it twice, but thanks for your rudeness

ok, that will make it loop, but how do i make it so it says everything you spent the points on say you spent it on magic 3 times so now you have 0 points i want it to print magic magic magic (on my actual program there are more choices so i want it to say each choice you make)

i thought of that.... maybe i shouild post all of my code but forgive me i started making alterations to it when i found this problem and the code got kind of messy anyways here it is

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

//declare variables


cout<<"enter dm password or you shall be smited!: ";
cin>>Password;
cin.ignore();
if (Password == "god")
//password protected

{
   cout<<"\n\nyou truly are an evil gm\n\n Would you like to create a Player?(yes or no): ";
   cin>>stop;
   cin.ignore();
