ok i have to make a program in c++ that presents
the user with a menu that looks like the text below.
Choose 1 of the following choices:
1 – Convert Miles to Kilometers
2 – Calculate the distance between two (x,y) coordinates
3 -- Quit
if they choose 1- i need to ask them if they want to randomly generate numbers to convert to kilos or use there own. same thing with 2. this is wht i have so far,it compiles ok but the stuff doesnt do what i choose except 3.

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;

void instruct()                   
 {
    cout << "This program does two things."<endl; 
    cout<<"It computes the distance between two points and converts miles to kilometers using random number generation"<<endl;
    cout<<"Or your own numbers, and it converts miles to kilometers the same way." <<endl;
    cout<<"Enter the what function you want to do and follow the in "<<endl;
    cout<<"program instructions that will help you succesfully complete the function"<<endl;
	
}

void menu()
{ 
cout<<"Choose one of the following choices:"<<endl;
        
cout<<"1-Convert miles to kilometers"<<endl;
        
cout<<"2-Calculate the distance between two coordinates"<<endl;
        
cout<<"3-Quit"<<endl;
}

int main(){
   

srand(time(0) ); 
int min,max,randx1,randy1,randx2,randy2,temp;
randx1=min+max+rand()%(max-min+1);
randy1=min+max+rand()%(max-min+1);
randx2=min+max+rand()%(max-min+1);
randy2=min+max+rand()%(max-min+1);
string yes;
string no;
int choice;
int num;
double KM_PER_MILE = 1.609;    // for storing a constant: 1.609 km equals a mile

double miles;             // for storing the input data: distance in miles


double kms;          // for storing the result: distance in kilometers

double distance;     // distance of two points formula

int x1, x2, y1, y2;          // coordinates 

cout<<"Choose one of the following choices:"<<endl;

cout<<"2-Calculate the distance between two coordinates"<<endl;
        
cout<<"3-Quit"<<endl;

MOD EDIT: When posting code...USE CODE TAGS!!!

Instead of using a an int variable type for your num variable, why not use it as a char, and when you go into your switch statements just use single quotes denoting the char variable type?

char num;

cout << "Please choose 1, 2, or 3: ";
cin >> num;

switch(num)
{
   case '1':
      cout << "this should work" << endl;
      break;
   case '2':
      cout << "This should work for number 2" << endl;
      break;
   case '3': 
       cout << "This should work for number 3\n";
       break;
    default:
      "Invalid choice\n"
      break;
}

You seem to be missing a few curly brackets

For example, your if statement on line 93.. as far as I can tell it should start on 94 with a { and close on line 114/115 with a } but it doens't.
Same goes for you if statement on line 101

Aside from that, the only thing I'll say is try to structure your code a little better so it's easier to read.
That would be a great help for us to read it if you want help
