in this program it is suppose to act as if anyone can type a number (to represent a class period), and the program will return what class I have in that period. I'm pretty sure my switch and cases are correct, but for some reason, I can't get a re-run to work, it is constantly glitching. The overall goal for this program is to have it ask the user what number they want to enter, have them enter the number, return the class period, and then ask them if they would like to enter another class period (yes/no) and either end the program or continue on. Any ideas of help on that? I'm really stuck. Thanks
