Default case not working

Subcidal (2)
Hi, i am new to the forums and this is my first post, please bare with me. I am new to c++ programming, and i just had a quick question about a program i was testing. I am testing out the switch/case function, trying to get a grasp on how it works and what to do. My program runs as i thought it would, with one exception. The "default" case at the bottom of my switch executes without displaying the message or waiting for the user to press a button. Hope i was clear enough. Here is my code. I keep my code pretty spaced out for my own personal clarity. The default switch is bold. I use dev C++ as a compiler.

It is default, not Default.

Oh, btw, to put frames around your code, surround it with code tags like this:

Your code here

Wow...that was a much simpler answer than i was expecting. I must have looked at that thing 10 times and not seen that. Thanks.
