Second beginner task assignment done- simplify?

[ForMySins]

So this is the second beginner task

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cola Machine
Requires:
variables, data types, and numerical operators
basic input/output
logic (if statements, switch statements)

Write a program that presents the user w/ a choice of your 5 favorite beverages (Coke, Water, Sprite, ... , Whatever).
Then allow the user to choose a beverage by entering a number 1-5.
Output which beverage they chose.

★ If you program uses if statements instead of a switch statement, modify it to use a switch statement.
If instead your program uses a switch statement, modify it to use if/else-if statements.

★★ Modify the program so that if the user enters a choice other than 1-5 then it will output "Error. choice was not valid, here is your money back."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*And I know my solution is somewhat elaborate and very "noobish" and is as follows*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Cola Machine

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

So forgetting the goto mechanism I've implemented as I have just found out how to do loops and use them which I have not updated in this program yet....

What I want to know is how would the cout "letter" then sleep (time) rinse and repeat be written more streamline... for instance a code that writes a sentence or phrase char by char with delay without manually having to do it... or is this the quickest way?

This should work:

const char* message = "Thank you have a nice day";
int i=0;
while( message[i] != '\0' )
{
    cout << message[i++];
    Sleep(100);
}

Thanks alot... the code works perfectly and whats more I can actually read through it and understand it too... one quick question ive added it instead of the long manual version at the bottom of my program, but a thing I forgot to mention last time is that there seems to be a bug already in such a short program....

Whereas when using the program and inputting an invalid number, then selecting 1 to exit, when it shows the text "Thank you have a nice day" it doesn't hang afterwards waiting for user input such as enter and immediately closes... everything else seems to be working as written! any Ideas?

Thanks fun2code, it's a great little code to learn.
