using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int playerHealth = 100;
    int playerStrength = 10;
    
    int monsterHealth = 100;
    
    
    while (playerHealth > 0 && monsterHealth > 0) {
        int monsterStrength = rand() % 15 + 1;
        
        string playerChoice;
        cout << "You have " << playerHealth << " health. The monster has " << monsterHealth << " health." << endl;
        cout << "Choices:\n1 to Attack\n2 to Defend" << endl;

        cout << "Yeah, you won!" << endl;
    } else {

        cout << "This shouldn't happen..." << endl;
    }
    return 0;
