XCode C++ Program not running proper loops - c++

Question

I am having issues with my program and am looking for some help. My program is supposed to randomly choose who gets to go first, the user or the computer. The program does that just fine, when I input the weapon I want to use it does the proper calculations and subtracts the right amount of randomly generated damage from the computer's health and vice versa if the computer gets to go first. Whether it is the user or the computer going first, after you press enter the program just stops. It is supposed to keep going until either the user or the computer's health reaches zero. I was wondering if I could get some assistance as to where my code is preventing this from happening. Any help would be appreciated, I am a novice with the C++ language. Thank you!

Answer 1

Looks like several issues.
How does Turn get changed from it initial value? Looks like whoever goes first will go until the other player is out of health
rand%3 will return 0,1 or 2. The switch is for 1,2,3. The 0 case is ignored.
The return statement is inside the while loop and the program hangs on the cin.ignore(2) line
I fixed these issue up and the program appears to be more or less working.

Answer 2

Move the return statement outside of the while loop.
Using a debugger would catch this.
