title: while loop, switch statement
body: <p>I'm having a problem when I enter the "p" case, after it's finished it repeats the top part of my while loop again where at the end the user must put something in for "input" variable. The problem is the user never gets prompted to put anything in for "input" and then it loops again, re-printing all of the information it previously just printed. The second time around it does allow the user to put something in for "input". This only happens after I run the "p" case.</p>
  
  <p>Someone please help me! Will be much appreciated!</p>
