consults on interpretation of the problem

luciusFernatore (34)
i'd like to know if I have managed solve the problem regarding to the wording
On the other hand, to comment how it would be optimized this solution or to be simplified in order to get different solutions can be given to it.

thanks for attending my question

You can simplify this immensely by using two arrays:

This is also an example where you can use the fact that cases in a switch statement fall through to the next case. I wouldn't say that this is a better solution, but it's a good demonstration of this rarely used structure

@dhayden, Nice one!

EDIT: case 1 could be:
1
2
 
    case 1: cout << (days > 1 ? "And a" : "A");
            cout << " partridge in a pear tree\n\n";


EDIT 2: Whoops, I didn't see that you already had an "and" at the end of case 2.

beautiful way to solve, but not understand by myself arrays in depth nowadays, i understand it even, simple and neat, thank you sir.

dhayden


nice and wonderful way to solve it, it's almost hard usual way, but simple to understand.

lastChance


man, it's hard to understand, but it's a wonderful solution, simply a lot of code and it's advanced to get over it
