    Switch case, how are you?!

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <conio.h>	
    int main()
    {  	 
      int input;	  
      cout<<"1. Play game";	
      cout<<"2. Load game";	
      cout<<"3. Play multiplayer";	
      cout<<"4. Exit";	
      cin>>input;	 
      switch (input)	
      {	   
       case 1:
          playgame();
    	   break;	 
       case 2:
    	  loadgame();	 
            break;	
       case 3:	      //Note use of : not ;	 
          playmultiplayer();
    	  break;	
       case 4:
      }
       return 0;
      }
    I found this and was planning to adapt it because one of my programs says " how are you?" then u enter something and it says you are: (what ever u enterd) but then i want to make the program say "Arn't you gonna ask me how i am?" then u get 2 options:

    1, yes
    2,no

    1,gives u maybe a blank field were u can type something
    2 terminates the program

    After you clicked "1" and typed something i want it to say "i'm fine thanks!" then terminate.

    Thanx! Sounds complex i know but i don't think it is


    PS:is it possible on 1, if u type something that isn't identical"how are you" it will say "you still havn't asked me how i am!"

    Play around with it and see what you can come up with. Half the fun (and the best way to learn) is experimentation.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Code:
    17 switchcase.cpp

    Code:
    20 switchcase.cpp

    You're trying to use functions that haven't been prototyped. I would wager that the code you planned on modifying wasn't really modifed. Is this what you were going for?
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    void prompt1();
    int  prompt2();
    void greeting();
    
    int
    main()
    {
      prompt1();
      switch (prompt2()) {
      case 1:
        cout<<"Well? ";
        greeting();
        break;
      case 2:
        cout<<"Meanie"<<endl;
        break;
      default:
        cout<<"Huh?"<<endl;
        break;
      }
    
      return 0;
    }
    
    void
    prompt1()
    {
      char answer[50];
    
      cout<<"How are you? ";
      cin.getline(answer, 50);
      cout<<"You are: "<< answer <<endl;
    }
    
    int
    prompt2()
    {
      int answer;
    
      cout<<"Aren't you going to ask how I am?\n";
      cout<<"1) Yes\n2) No\n: ";
      cin>> answer;
      cin.ignore();
    
      return answer;
    }
    
    void
    greeting()
    {
      char greeting[50];
    
      cin.getline(greeting, 50);
      if (strcmp(greeting, "How are you?") != 0) {
        cout<<"You still haven't asked me how I am!"<<endl;
      }
      else {
        cout<<"I'm fine, thank you."<<endl;
      }
    }
