Switch Statement : Solved (some advice?)
Author
Are you able to put a while statement into one of the cases of a switch statement? Im making my "random number game" more complex by adding difficulty levels but I'm not entirely sure how I implement this. I will post my code but I would rather just have an explination not the answer. Any advice will help. Thanks.

Yes you can place a while statement as a case in a switch statement.
Thank you very much. I have accomplished something very basic. I random number game where you can pick the difficulties. I am quite proud of this little achivement. Now I would like to know what can I do to improve it... maybe how to make it cleaner? or little features I can add? Anything would be great.

Yeah, you should be able to put a while into a switch case, although you might want to put it around the switch. Also, you might want to use a bool for again instead of a char.
One last thing - the comments in your code are a bit self-explainatory, and probably don't need to be there.

You should also put srand() at the beginning of int main() rather than at several points during the program. srand is an initialisation function that resets the random number generator each time you call it. Therefore it should just be done once, at the start. :)
