so the 3rd function calls on the read_integer(prompt) from the int read_integer(string prompt) above it, seen by the ***** marks, but I am not sure what to add so that this works. My attempt in the below code doesn't spit out the month after the user puts an integer from 1-12. The function is to utalise structs and enums to read out a knights name, age, armour, and birthmonth. It is the birthmonth that doesnt work so far. I am a beginner coder btw
