switch statement help

New D.I.C Head Joined: 18 Sep, 2006 Posts: 13 My Contributions	CODE #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int hours, minutes; cout<< "Enter time as hours and minutes separated by a space in numeric form:"; cin >> hours >> minutes; Ok. I got the above code to actually compile. Now, I'm stuck as to what to do next. I need to use switch statements to complete the rest of the program. The program should read a time in numeric form and print in English. Should be in 24- hour time, but should have 12 hour AM/PM form. Could someone please give me some direction on how to get this started? I've tried some different coding, but it's incomplete and won't compile. I know the coding I've posted is pretty simple I just need some direction. Thank you. This post has been edited by Dark_Nexus: 5 Nov, 2006 - 03:51 PM

My problem is with what comes after Case 1 when I begin the switch. Do I case out the hours or minutes or what? I just don't know what I'm giving "cases" for. Dumb question I know.

I have no idea what your trying to do man! and if you dont know what your giving cases for then what are you even trying to do? case1: if (this is true) or (this exists) or (this unput == whatever) DO THIS P.S.- READ THIS!
