I have to write a program that reads in playing card values and translates them to the correct output. For example if a user enters:QS then the output would be a queen of spades. I am using a switch statement but how can I read the second character. Right now it just reads the first character and then prints out just that corresponding title.

You should provide your existing code so that we can give specific recommendations. Basically, read both characters as a string. Then, send the first character via [0] to your switch, then send the second character via [1] to a different switch.

I have included my code below I have done so far for this program. But based on your suggestion it sounds like I need to come up with another way of doing it because of redundancy. Maybe I should use if/else statements.
Thanks,
// This program will determine the deck of cards you have
// For example, if you type AD then the output will be Ace of Diamonds.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << " MENU " << endl;
cout << "------------------------------------" << endl;
cout << " A=Ace, J=Jack, Q=Queen " << endl;
cout << " K=King, D=Diamonds, H=Hearts"<< endl;
cout << " S=Spades,C=Clubs,2-10=card values" << endl;
cout << "------------------------------------" << endl;
while ( true)
{
cout << " Enter the card notation: (ex. QS,AD,4C): ";
char choice;
cin >> choice;
if ( cin.eof() )
break;
switch (choice)
{
case 'q':
case 'Q':
cout << " Queen " << endl ;
break;
case 'a':
case 'A':<< moderator edit: added code tags: [code][/code] >>
