    cin >> choice;

    // Perform action based on user's choice using a switch statement
    switch (choice) {
        case 1:
            cout << "Starting a new game..." << endl;
            break;
        case 2:

            cout << "Exiting the program. Goodbye!" << endl;
            break;
        default:
            cout << "Invalid choice! Please enter a number between 1 and 4." << endl;

Explanation:

1. Menu Display:
   • The program first displays a simple menu with four options:
     1. Start New Game
     2. Load Game
     3. Options
     4. Exit
2. User Input:
   • The program prompts the user to enter a choice (a number between 1 and 4).
3. Switch Statement:
   • The switch statement evaluates the user’s choice:
     • case 1: Prints “Starting a new game…”
     • case 2: Prints “Loading game…”
     • case 3: Prints “Opening options…”
     • case 4: Prints “Exiting the program. Goodbye!”
     • default: Handles any invalid choice (not between 1 and 4) by displaying an error message.
4. Output:
   • Depending on the user’s choice, the program prints a corresponding message.
