Switch : Case statements

i've been fooling around with the following short program that i wrote.... trying to get the compiler to recognize the second integer that i enter, so that the number entered from the user will ouput its correct spelling...

here is my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

int number;


for(int count=1; count<=10; count++) //program will run 10 times.
{
cout << "\nPlease enter one of the following integers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) : ";

cin >> number;

switch(number)
{
case '11':
cout <<"The number is ELEVEN.\n";
break;
case '12':
cout <<"The number is TWELVE.\n";
break;
case '13':
cout <<"The number is THIRTEEN.\n";
break;
case '14':
cout <<"The number is FOURTEEN.\n";
break;
case '15':
cout <<"The number is FIFTEEN.\n";
break;
default:
cout << "The number is not supported.\n";
}

}


return 0;

}



for some reason the only output i get is "The number is not supported". I tried switching number to type char instead of type int, and when i do so, it works. but only if i were to make the case a single digit, instead of a double digit.
im very confused right now.... any help would be appreciated. thanks !

 

Instead of using case '11': (With single-quotes), then you should use case 11: without quotes.
