What is the problem you're having?

I can tell you that you can't declare variables inside a case statement without putting a set of braces around it; otherwise the variable might be destructed (when you hit the end of the switch) without having been constructed (because you went to a different case).

Thanks, but when I run this piece in Xcode, it breaks down after the 'shop' switch statement. I'll try your suggestion see if it works!
