Issues with switch statements

johndough (4)
Ok here is what needs to be done.

• Create a do loop that asks the user if they want to roll the dice (yes or no) until the user says no.
• At the beginning of the loop ask the user how many sides the dice has (either 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20).
• Use the rand() function and output the statement "You rolled a " and then a random number that can be found on the type of dice they chose. So a 6 sided dice can give the number 1 through 6.
• Use a switch statement to check the user input for the sides of dice. There should be 6 case statements (1 for each type of dice).
• Just before the program exits print out an exit statement.


I dont know if Im doing it right or if I understand what he is looking for in the switch statements. I am so lost didnt help I dont have the class book yet. Dam book store. any help is greatly appreciated!

OK so now i can get the program to out put with no errors but it will only work for the first input after that it is all the same output regardless of input.
