Need help with Computer AI script.

[EmperorXyn]

I'm writing a simple text game, all is well so far but I cannot figure out a solution to strategically writing a script to perform a randomized function...

if(canair>usair){
srand ( time(NULL) );
int warrand1=rand() % 100;           \\ Makes a Random Number 1-100.

if (warrand1>35){                    \\ Easy part, I understand how it works.
	enemydmg=eair*2-usnavy;
	attacking();}

if(warrand1<36){                    
 \\ Basically if the number is less then 35 I want it to continue to other if statements but I need a more cleaner method.

	if(cannavy>usnavy){
		srand ( time(NULL) );
        int warrand2=rand() % 100;
		
 if(warrand2>35){
		enemydmg=cannavy*2-usair;}
		if(warrand2<36){

if(canarmy>usarmy){
	     	srand ( time(NULL) );
            int warrand3=rand() % 100;
			if(warrand3>35){
				enemydmg=canarmy*1.5;
			}
			else{enemydmg=canair+cannavy+canarmy+5;}
			}
		}
	}

Sorry code is sloppy i'm not sure how understandable to other people will realize what exactly i'm trying to do but I hope so.

Outline-

Computer has 3 militaries - Navy, Army, Airforce. The code above is basically just determining what the Computer attacks with having a 65% chance to do it strategically to add some randomness. Just need something that is better then all the if statements.

Thanks.

a switch statement is tidier and easier to use, you could also create a whole load of functions that take arguments and have them called in a switch statement.

If you build all the methods you need then put it together in little easy chunks like this

lots of little easy thincky blocks

public int attackoutcomefuncion (int number)
{//switchstatment using number for outcome}

public void Iamattacked(int whyiamattacked)
{//function of part of your game}



int main()
{
cout "do you want to play game?";



while (notchosenquit)
{
startgamefunction();
Iamattacked(attackoutcomefunction(randomnum));
}

showscoreboardfunction()
}

I figured I should probably impliment switch statements and this will probably be a good way to practice them. Thank you
