Hey guys! I'm just learning really basic stuff, and this isn't quite urgent, but I can't wrap my head around what the issue is, and I'd love if someone more learned than I could point it out for me.
And, of course, thanks to that one error, my build feedback flips out:
Maybe it's something brutally obvious, but I've been staring at it for quite a while and I'd love the fresh opinion.
Code:
// This is a menu!
// Demonstrates the switch thingie
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cin;
int main() {
enum difficulty {BREEZY, EAZY, TOASTY, ROASTY};
difficulty myChoice;
cout << "Choose a difficulty: " << endl;
cout << "BREEZY" << endl;
cout << "EAZY" << endl;
cout << "TOASTY" << endl;
cout << "ROASTY" << endl;
cin >> myChoice; // AND THE TROUBLEMAKER IS >>
cout << "You chose " << myChoice << endl;
return 0;
}And, of course, thanks to that one error, my build feedback flips out:
