I have that and I need it to print the value of each card at the end of the sequence
Also When I enter anything with the first number of the case aka 23 it will accept the 2 and move to the next loop instead of the error message
how do I fix that

strlen(card)

something like this maybe?

input would have to be a character array to use atoi IIRC.

this.

if strlen returns greater then 1 its invalid input

id also use the tolower() or toupper() function so that all your card inputs are the same so you dont have to use case switches that fall through to get the same output. would eliminate the need for upper and lower case case switches

you could also use a file streaming function to get input from STDIN but limit it to 1 character. the function fgets() comes to mind where you can supply a file descriptor (STDIN), a character buffer (array of characters), and a character limit (int) and fgets will read input from STDIN and put the data into the character buffer until it reaches the limit or it encounters a newline character which ever comes first.

although im sure c++ has a built in string function to do this or limit the amount of characters somehow.

i think string.substring() would work ( switch(card.substring(0,1) ) assuming you are using c++ strings, but would be a hack patch job for the real error of reading in to many characters.

Not allowed to use strings I ended up using three switches, Thanks anyways though

^^ huge props to this chica right here

glad you figured it out :3 next time you post though post complete code. its hard working with snippets not knowing what variables are defined as.

python weirds me out. the entire time ive been programming ive always had to cast or declare a type for a variable but then python is like LOL NOPE JUST USE ME ANY WAY YOU PLEASE LIKE A DIRTY WHORE.
