How should I change the code so that getUserOption receives strings such as "help", help average" as input instead of integers like 0, 1?

int MerkelMain::getUserOption() { int userOption = 0; std::string line; std::cout << "Type in 1-6" << std::endl; std::getline(std::cin, line); try{ userOption = std::stoi(line); }catch(const std::exception& e) { // } std::cout << "You chose: " << userOption << std::endl; return userOption; }

void MerkelMain::processUserOption(int userOption)

{

if (userOption == 0) // bad input

{

std::cout << "Invalid choice. Choose 1-6" << std::endl;

}

if (userOption == 1)

{

printHelp();

}

}
