Code error

[dmotard0]

Hey, I need a little help. I had the program working until I used the switch statement and tried to put in a menu and now I have three errors. Could someone please take a look and tell me what I messed up? thank you

choice is defined as an int, so in the switch statements it should be case 1: not case '1': - the single quotes would be used if the value tested were a char type.

You're missing the while part of your do/while loop.
