why skipping?

[SteveCRM]

cout<<"Enter A Menu Option: ";
	cin>>menuOpt;
	while(menuOpt>4 || menuOpt<1)
	{
		cout<<"Please Enter A Valid Input (1-4): ";
		cin>>menuOpt;
	}

	switch(menuOpt)  //Main game switch statement
	{
	case 1:
			cout<<"1 chosen"<<endl;
		break;
	case 2:
			cout<<"2 chosen"<<endl;
		break;
	case 3:
		cout<<"3 Chosen"<<endl;
		ShowAbout();
		break;
	case 4:
		cout<<"GoodBye!"<<endl;
		return 0;
		break;
	}

why does it skip over case 1 - 3? only case 4 works....why?

looks ok to me

[ravcam]

seems ok to me too... dropped it into my vc++ as a console app with some necessary syntax... and it worked...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{

int menuOpt;

cout<<"Enter A Menu Option: ";
cin>>menuOpt;
while(menuOpt>4 || menuOpt<1)
{
cout<<"Please Enter A Valid Input (1-4): ";
cin>>menuOpt;
}

switch(menuOpt) //Main game switch statement
{
case 1:
cout<<"1 chosen"<<endl;
break;
case 2:
cout<<"2 chosen"<<endl;
break;
case 3:
cout<<"3 Chosen"<<endl;
break;
case 4:
cout<<"GoodBye!"<<endl;
return 0;
break;
}


}

my VC++ gets very picky sometimes thanks

[SteveCRM]

I've restarted VC++ and deleted the original exe so it could fully recompile it...still doesn't work

attached file uses apstring.h and .cpp

[SteveCRM]

it apears only to be linking....how can I fix it so it compiles also

If it is linking, it means it is compiled alright first.

I am also find your code is fine, perhaps it is a linker error?

[SteveCRM]

I fixed it

it wasn't compiling

it just said Visual C++------Project Whatever-----------
Linking.......
