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. :)

i know i've been trying it sounds like homework but i've tried and looked around i can't seem to get it to compile like it is, it says

Code:

---

14 switchcase.cpp
 implicit declaration of function `int playgame(...)'

---

Code:

---

17 switchcase.cpp
 implicit declaration of function `int loadgame(...)'

---

Code:

---

20 switchcase.cpp
 implicit declaration of function `int playmultiplayer(...)'

---

Code:

---

23 switchcase.cpp
 parse error before `}'

---

if anyone knows the answer plz help?

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;
  }
}
