STL Queue Questions

CRBottini (26)
Coding Below. Queue confusion on this project. I stopped and posted because I do not want to butcher my code anymore. I need to have user input how many soldiers they want in their army. Then each one compares random integers to reveal a winner. Then a soldier is taken away or popped after each cycle. I am lost on how to get this coding correct and my head is starting to spin. Any Advice.

I don't understand what you are trying to make. What is the point of user input if you are comparing random numbers?

By the way, lines 23, 24 don't do what you think. In C++ you may consider comma operator similar to a semicolon.
