Im just beginning to learn c++ and this is about the second day. Just wondering what you guys think and ways of improvement, efficiency and such.

Thanks guys!

I'd get rid of the pauses. system("PAUSE") is frowned upon by many people. There are some good threads explaining why and how to avoid it on Daniweb. You should add some "break" commands to your case statement. Right now it is implementing all cases when you pick addition.

well i did use break; originally but then a friend of mine said they weren't needed but i never tested it so thats my fault.

Ill try have a look around for system("pause");

>a friend of mine said they weren't needed
In that case, I wouldn't recommend relying on your friend for teaching you good coding practices. A break statement is always needed in a switch() statement unless you want execution to continue into the next case, or you're already at the last case.
