#Flags, If-Else & Switch Case

(New to C++, learning.)
I am working on an Assignment for class, and I need some assistance regarding of the things listed below. I have been experimenting with the code to try and get the results of the pictures I will post in here.

I am not sure where to start on my If and Else chain statements and how to incorporate the flags. Just some tips or pointers is what I am looking for.

The solution/outcome

The current code and struggles I am having. Not sure what to assign to what.

The General Assignment.

Code has been updated to my experimentation.

i'll get you started. for if (keyStroke == 1) { you'll want something like if (isalpha(c)) {

Thanks i'll check it out.

So I assume I was mistaken that the (keyStroke == 1) is comparing to the

#ifndef __CHARCODES__
#define __CHARCODES__
// Type codes...
#define LETTER       1
#define NUMBER       2
#define SYMBOL       3

I was under the impression that it would equal the LETTER (FLAG)
