Thread: Input Question

Code:

    clear_screen();
    cout << "(S)tart a New Game\n";
    cout << "(L)oad a Game\n";
    cout << "(Q)uit\n";
    choice=getch();
    switch(choice) {
    case 's'||'S':
         NewGame();
         break;
    default:
            cout << "You Must Pick 'S', Restarting";
            main();
            break;
            }

Basicly I need the switch to recognize both 's' and 'S', incase user has capslock on, I've done it before but I'm just getting back to Programming and I can't remember how it was done.

Code:

case 's' || 'S':

obviously doesn't work, do have to parse all the input into lower case? I thought there was a really simple way, but it's been 2 years.

Thanks in advance

There are a lot of ways.
You could try

Code:

switch(choice)
{
     case 's':          // fall through
     case 'S':
              NewGame();
              break;
};

Another way is to convert the 's' into upper case and then switch on the upper case 's'.

FYI - Recursively calling main is illegal in C++. Consider using a loop and a bool variable or moving everything in your main function into a separate function of your own that does the same thing.

Awesome, that's what I was looking for, the 2 Case lines.

And as for calling main, I remembered that, I've already started organizing the code better, I call menu now with the improved switch.

Thanks both of ya.
