Thread: The Noob cometh.

So here I am, trying to do this myself, with no teacher and I've reached a bit of an impass. I still on the basic tutorial, (Huge N00b here!) and on the switch case scenario. I apologize in advance is this elicits sighs of exhasperation. Here goes....

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int a();
int b();
int c();

int main()
{
  int input;

  cout<<"1. Play game\n";
  cout<<"2. Load game\n";
  cout<<"3. Play multiplayer\n";
  cout<<"4. Exit\n";
  cout<<"Selection: ";
  cin>> input;
  switch ( input ) {
  case 1:        
    cout<<"Whoops! Broken disk...\n"; if ( a = 1 );
    break;
  case 2:            /
    cout<<"Waiting for image...\n"; if ( b == 2 );
    break;
  case 3:           
    cout<<"n00b!\n"; if ( c = 3 );
   break;
  case 4:           
    cout<<"Thank you for playing!\n";
    break;
  default:            
    cout<<"Error, bad input, quitting\n";
    break;
  }
    cin.get();
}

I can't get the darn thing to work correctly! I open the file itself and I enter a value, but the program simply closes! I can't think of what to do. Any help for a desperate would be programmer?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
  int input;

  cout<<"1. Play game\n";
  cout<<"2. Load game\n";
  cout<<"3. Play multiplayer\n";
  cout<<"4. Exit\n";
  cout<<"Selection: ";
  cin>> input;

  switch ( input )
 {
  case 1:        
    cout<<"Whoops! Broken disk...\n";
    break;
  case 2:          
    cout<<"Waiting for image...\n";
    break;
  case 3:           
    cout<<"n00b!\n"; 
   break;
  case 4:           
    cout<<"Thank you for playing!\n";
    break;
  default:            
    cout<<"Error, bad input, quitting\n";
    break;
  }
   system("pause");
}

there is no need for this function prototypes:

Code:

int a();
int b();
int c();

I hope it works for you, I tested it and it works fine now!
