Game Acts UP!
Why doesn''t the switch statement work?
Also, the comipler doesn''t care if there''s a semicolon after the switch statement. (Commented) Why?

When you do:
Don''t use brackets.

choice is an int, in your switch statement you''re comparing it to the characters ''1'' and ''2'', which are much different from the numbers 1 and 2. Using extra braces in a switch statement is fine, you don''t need them but all it does is create a new scope, allowing variables to be initialized and then destroyed when it hits the } (which can actually be useful in a few cases). But to fix your problem, either make choice a char or compare 1 and 2 rather than ''1'' and ''2''.

It''s quite possible that I''m mistaken, but I don''t think there''s any harm in using brackets inside switch statements. Depending on what you''re doing inside the switch, they''re required sometimes.
But ya, if your code compiles properly, (i noticed your "''s weren''t matched up properly sometimes.. but that could be just a typo) the reason your switch statement doesn''t work is because of the single-quote marks you''re using in your case statements..
if choice was a ''char'' variable, then saying:
case ''1'':
would be fine.. but seeing how you''ve declared choice as an int.. maybe you should try changing your case statment to something like:
case 1:
pretty much the same as you had done before, except without the single quote marks.
Hope this helps

Don''t use brackets.
Braces are necessary if you declare variables within that scope, as the jumps for other cases cause that variable initialization to be skipped - a compile-time error.
