alrite im kinda new to C++ and im starting to write small games and when i made my menu script it started good where you had to enter the number to which level of difficulty you want then when u put in the number and hit enter it runs through the rest of the script super fast and exits the screen so can i get some help here heres the script

Code: 
 

// Menu Chooser 
// Demonstrates the switch statement 
 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
 
int main()  
{ 
      cout << "Difficulty Levels\n\n"; 
      cout << "1 - Easy\n"; 
      cout << "2 - Normal\n"; 
      cout << "3 - Hard\n\n"; 
 
      int choice; 
      cout << "Choice: "; 
      cin >> choice; 
 
      switch (choice) 
      { 
      case 1:       
                  cout << "You picked Easy.\n"; 
                  break; 
      case 2:       
                  cout << "You picked Normal.\n"; 
                  break; 
      case 3:       
                  cout << "You picked Hard.\n"; 
                  break; 
      default: 
                  cout << "You made an illegal choice.\n"; 
      } 
 
    return 0; 
} 
Code:

ok this is it so far but then i thought it would work if i did this

Code: 
 

// Menu Chooser 
// Demonstrates the switch statement 
 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
 
int main()  
{ 
      cout << "Difficulty Levels\n\n"; 
      cout << "1 - Easy\n"; 
      cout << "2 - Normal\n"; 
      cout << "3 - Hard\n\n"; 
 
      int choice; 
      cout << "Choice: "; 
      cin >> choice; 
 
      switch (choice) 
      { 
      case 1:       
                  cout << "You picked Easy.\n"; 
                  break; 
      case 2:       
                  cout << "You picked Normal.\n"; 
                  break; 
      case 3:       
                  cout << "You picked Hard.\n"; 
                  break; 
      default: 
                  cout << "You made an illegal choice.\n"; 
      } 
    std::cout << "press the enter key to exit"; 
    std::cin.ignore(std::cin.rdbuf()->in_avail() +1); 
    return 0; 
}

Programming uses loops to keep any application running. Look at the console programs on my site:
