C++ code using switch that prints seven segment numbers

acaspiroy (3)
Hey i need help with a code that inputs a number and outputs the corresponding seven segment number
my teacher said:
Use seven Boolean variables for each number( top, middle, bottom, top_left, top_right, bottom_left and bottom_right) Use a switch statement to assign appropriate values for each number from 0 to 9. Then use another control structure to print the proper segments of a number entered.

i'm a little confused here
any help would be great thanks

7 boolean values? but there are number from 0-9, aren't you missing left, and right?
I think you need to enter a number like 159, and you loop through the string and output the thing, but your teacher wants bools, and a class, and wants you to output it based off the bools, and ignore left and right for some reason.
