If you opted to use an if else structure, then this could be a potential solution. After input is obtained at lines seven and eight, the first if statement checks for one and displays the appropriate text. Else ifs checks at line 14 for the value two, and then at line 18 for the value three. And then finally at line 22, the final else detects whatever's invalid and prints the message, invalid input.
