    Understanding the problem

    Problem:If the value of the integer variable number is 2, square it. If it is 3, input a new value for number. If it is 4 or 5, multiply by 3 and display a new value. Write the appropriate C++ code using switch statement.**********question:-i don't understand the condition if it is 3, how should i input a new value for number?-if it is 4 or 5, should i display the answer when multiplied by 3?TIA.

    To me, this sounds like:

    Input number (i.e. ask user for a number)
    If number == 2, output 2^2
    If number == 3, input new number and repeat this whole sequence
    if number == 4, output 4*3
    if number == 5, output 5*3
