i noticed when i have a switch statement the default does not catch chars...
here is a sample-
im guessing this is because the switch statement is only taking ints, but is there a way I can prevent a system crash if myself or someone accidentally inputs a char rather than an int?Code:int input; cin>>input; switch(input) { case 1: statement; break; case 2: statement; break; case 3: statement; break; default: cout<<"cant do that\n"; break; }
Check with:
Code:if (cin >> input)
