I have to create a program that asks a person to enter numbers (1-99) and convert it into words. I've been working on this for days and I still don't see what I'm doing wrong! PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I get an error on all the case numbers and I dont understand what is wrong.
EXAMPLE:
using namespace std;

27

twenty-seven

#include <string>

 //function prototypes go here

    int main()
{
    int input;

    cout << "Please enter a positive integer: ";
    cin >> input;

    cout << intName(input) << endl;

    cout << endl;
    system("pause");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

string intName(int number)
{
    int part = number;  //The part that still needs to be converted
    string name;        //The return value

    if (part >= 100)
    {
        name = digitName(part / 100) + " hundred";
        part = part % 100;
    }

    if (part >= 20)
    {
        name = name + " " + tensName(part);
        part = part % 10;
    }
    else if (part >= 10)
    {
        name = name + " " + teenName(part);
        part = 0;
    }

    if (part > 0)
    {
        name = name + " " + digitName(part);
    }

    return name;
}

A switch construct needs a switch statement. You don't have one. Look up the syntax.
