swich with if statement not working

Hey all, I have a switch that has an if statement in one of the cases. This if statement, if true, is supposed to switch the case... but it doesn't. It will print the cout statement but it skips over my "state=RESET" initialization and goes right to the cout statement after my if statement. Its located on lines 136 and 141. What am I doing wrong?

This is because you forgot the break statement. Also, if you have multi-line case statements it's good to add curly-braces around the block. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
case 1: {
          baz = foo;
          foo = (char)foobar;
          barfoo = foobar - foo;
          foo++;
          break;
        }
case 2: {
          ...;
          ...;
          ...;
          break;
        }
....;

Brilliant!! Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks for the advice. I will ad those curly-braces.
Doesn't it seem strange to you to have a two line function

1
2
3
4
int getcard() {
	++getCardCalled;
	return deck[getCardCalled];
}


and a fifty line switch condition?

	break;


You left out BUST also by the way, or I just can't see it through the jungle. Turning the conditions into functions would go a long way toward making your code more readable and making it easier for you find where you made a mistake.

switch(state)
{
case 'H':
	hit();
	break;
case 'S':
	stand();
	break;
}


for example.

There's no reason to even have INITIAL, RESET, or BUST as one of the conditions either as they are all unrelated.
Thats really good advice. I will use it in the future! Thanks!
