Question

I have what I’m sure is a simple problem, but I can’t figure it out. In the code below, I’d like to be able to have case 5 re-display the options afterward. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!

// Input the race of your character
    cout << "Choose a race here: " << endl
    << "1) Human, 2) Elf, 3) Dark Dwarf, 4) Commoner, 5) Race info, 6) Admin Debug Race : ";

    cin >> mCharRace;

    switch (mCharRace)
        {
        case 1:
        cout << "You have chosen Human!" << endl;
        mExpPoints = 999;
        mArmor = mArmor + 2;
        break;
    case 2:
        cout << "You have chosen Elf!" << endl;
        mAccuracy = mAccuracy + 2;
        mWeapon.mDamageRange.mLow = mWeapon.mDamageRange.mLow + 1;
        break;
    case 3:
        cout << "You have chosen Dark Dwarf!" << endl;
        mWeapon.mDamageRange.mHigh = mWeapon.mDamageRange.mHigh + 2;
        mMaxHitPoints = mMaxHitPoints + 3;
        break;
    case 4:
        cout << "You have chosen Commoner! Brave man." << endl;
        mAccuracy       = mAccuracy - 3;
        mHitPoints      = mHitPoints - 5;
        mMaxHitPoints   = 8;
        mExpPoints      = -250;
        mNextLevelExp   = 1500;
        mArmor          = -1;
        break;
    case 5:
        cout << "Placeholder for explanation text." << endl;
        break;
    case 6:
        cout << "ADMIN POWERS UNITE!!!!!!!" << endl;
        mAccuracy       = 20;
        mHitPoints      = 1000;
        mMaxHitPoints   = 1000;
        mExpPoints      = 0;
        mNextLevelExp   = 1000;
        mArmor          = 100;
        mWeapon.mName   = "Admin Sword of HNNNG!";
        mWeapon.mDamageRange.mLow   = 100;
        mWeapon.mDamageRange.mHigh  = 150;
        mGold           = 1000000;
        break;

Answer 1

A switch-case construct isn’t an iteration construct. It can only select a certain case and execute it. The flow of control cannot go back up due to it.

So, you can’t use it to loop.
Wrap it in a while or for looping construct instead.

while(condition){
   switch (mCharRace){
   ...
   ...
   }
}

Just turn condition to false when you want to stop looping.
