Problem with displaying

kraiten (1)
Hello so I'm trying to get this to run but I can't seem to find the problem. I need to get the function to work when they type in a letter but none of them display. I'm also having trouble with the very last line asking to play again.

'A' is a character. result is an integer.
You're allowed to make this comparison, but upper-case 'A' for example has a decimal value of 65, which isn't within your 0 - 5 range - neither are any of the other cases.

Additionally, you should call srand once and only once at the beginning of your program unless you have some specialized reason for doing so.
