creating menu with c++

bg2300 · 07-10-2004, 04:39 AM

I am a newbie c++ programmer. I created a simple numbered menu, i get the users choice and based on that choice it calls the appropriate function. Once that function completes the program ends. I want it to reload the menu after the function finishes. How would i do this? The menu is in main(). I tried using a do loop to reload the menu when the function returns control to main but when the user enters the q to quit the programme goes into an infinite loop. Please help.

cant do a great deal without seeing your code

int main( )
{
LABEL:
int choice = drawMenu( );
switch(choice)
{
case 1:
//do something.
goto LABEL;
case 2:
//do something...
goto LABEL;
case 3: //suppose this is exit

break;
}
return 0;
}

I think this should do it

it's late and i may have misread your post, but you could do something like this.

Code:

int main()
{
     char choice;
     //put your choices here
     cout << "CHOICE GOES HERE" << endl;
     cin >> choice;

     //now you can just do a while until the user puts in a 'q'

     while (choice != "q")
     {
           if (choice == "a")
           {
                 //whatever you want to do
            }
           //do that same thing for all
       
           //now just do another prompt for choices
           cout << "CHOICES" << endl;
           cin >> choices;
      }
  return 0;
}

hope that helps!
