initialization of 'fin' is skipped by 'case' label

[nunii07]

Please! Help! This program was running at first but when I started to change the couts and cins to fouts and fins (in order for them to be save in a file directory), it shows a lot of errors such as:

initialization of 'fin' is skipped by 'case' label
'std::ifstream fin': redefinition

Here is the code of the program:

It'll be a lot of help. thank you so muchhhhh!!! ^_^

The variable fin is defined in case 2 but you use it in case 1.

You will need to move the definition of fin so it is visible to all the cases.
