Switch/case need help

Kevint (7)
So we have a weekend assignment that is "Write a c++ program that will allow a user to input their first name into a string, and use the switch/case statement to produce the following output. Your Program should prompt the use rwith the numbers and the options for each (school, classification, and mood) allowing them to make a choice"

My issue is with the output. The output at the end is the number that they input and not the name of the case they chose, so if they chose option 1 for school it does not print out "BRCC" at the end for the output it prints a 1. Any help would be great!

Please edit your post and make sure your code is [code]between code tags[/code] so that it has line numbers and syntax highlighting.

Which output is incorrect? I am having trouble understanding which you are referring to.

The issue it at the bottom where it says "I am a student at " << school << endl; it will give me the output as the number in which i input so if i input 1 for BRCC at the bottom it will output "1" instead of BRCC. im not sure how to get it to output the BRCC. It's the same problem with the other 3 cases.

I think you want each of your switch statements to come after you output each "I am ..." line.

yes. the way it is now it says "I am a student at 1(or whatever number they pick" and i want it to say "I am a student at BRCC(or whatever school corresponds to the number they picked)"

Ok, so that's just simple cut and paste - moving lines around. You already have all the code written out, just not in the right order ;)
