Switch

Hi,
I do not want the user to be prompted to key in the first number and second number when the user keys in other than 1-5. It should show "Invalid choice" instead, when the user keys in other than 1-5.
How do I go about doing it?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int Choice = 6;
float firstNumber = 0;
float secondNumber = 0;
float Result = 0.0;
while (Choice != 5)
{
cout << "Simple Calculator" << endl;
cout << "1: Addition" << endl;
cout << "2: Subtraction" << endl;
cout << "3: Multiplication" << endl;
cout << "4: Division" << endl;
cout << "5: Quit" << endl << endl;
cout << "Please enter your choice: " ;
cin >> Choice;
if (Choice != 5)
{
cout << "\nPlease enter the first number : " ;
cin >> firstNumber;
cout << "Please enter the second number : " ;
cin >> secondNumber;
}
switch (Choice)
{
case 1 : Result = firstNumber + secondNumber;
cout << "\nThe result is: " << Result << "\n\n" ;
break ;
case 2 : Result = firstNumber - secondNumber;
cout << "\nThe result is: " << Result << "\n\n" ;
break ;
case 3 : Result = firstNumber * secondNumber;
cout << "\nThe result is: " << Result << "\n\n" ;
break ;
case 4 : Result = firstNumber / secondNumber;
cout << "\nThe result is: " << Result << "\n\n" ;
break ;
case 5 : cout << "\nEnd of Calculation" ;
break ;
default : cout << "\nInvalid choice\n\n" ;
break ;
}
}
cin.ignore();
cin.ignore();
return 0;
}

change line 22: if (Choice >= 1 && Choice <= 4)
