Thread: Are Your Sure You Want To Quit? Help Please

i need to write a exit screen on my program, i have one nicely layed out etc.. but i want it to ask the users if there sure they wanna quit.

this is a quick sample of my existing code

<code>
void main()
{
TitleScreen();
MainMenu(); /*when number 4 is pressed to goes to the end of the function and gotos the quitscreen function*/

QuitScreen(); /*this screen askes if ya want to quit if 'Y' is entered then it quits, if not then how do i make it go back to the main menu */
}
</code>

You need to use a loop (for or while will do).

>>void main()
is wrong, use
>>int main(void)
and return 0; at the end.

... and read about code tags from the link in my signature

this is a bit of my code
i use a loop in the main menu

Code:

 */

void main()
{
	
	startscr();
	titlepage();
	mainmenu();
                endscr();

}

/*This is the main menu, this is where the user will choose specific options and sub options*/
void mainmenu()
{
	
	char pcroption;
	
	pcroption = 0;	

	do
	{
		clrscr();
		printf("\n\n\t\t  **************************************************");
		printf("\n\t\t |  'C' Programming - Assignment 1 - Area Program  |\n");	
		printf("\t\t  **************************************************");
		printf("\n\n\t\t   1). The surface area of an enclosed cylinder");
		printf("\n\n\t\t   2). The volume of material in a hollow sphere");
		printf("\n\n\t\t   3). The area of a triangle");
		printf("\n\n\t\t   4). Quit the program");	
		printf("\n\n\n\t\tEnter the letter of your selection: ");
		pcroption = getch();	/*Gets a letter, and continues, there is no waiting for enter 
					key to be pressed*/
		switch(pcroption)
		{
			case '1':	//The surface area of an enclosed cylinder
				surfacearea();
				break;
			case '2':	//The volume of material in a hollow sphere
				hollowsphere();
				break;
			case '3':	//The area of a triangle (there are two options for this)
				trianglemenu();
				break;
			case '4':	//Quit program
				break;
			default:
				printf("\n\n\t....Incorrect Value....");
				hold();
		}
	}while(pcroption!='4');
}

/*This displays the assignment title page, containing the assignment information*/
void titlepage()
{
	clrscr();
	printf("\n\t        ----------------------------------------\n");
	printf("\t\t|     Title Page - 'C' Programming     |\n");
	printf("\t        ----------------------------------------\n\n");
	printf("\t\t\t      'C' Programming\n\n\n\n");
	printf("\t\t\t        Assignment 1\n\n");
	printf("\t\t   Hand-Out Date: W/B 14th October 2002\n");
	printf("\t\t Hand-In Date: Monday 25th November 2002\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n");
	printf("\tby Paul Roseby 2002");
	
	hold();
}

sorry still didnt get the code thing right

See if something like this might help. I modified it a bit to suit my compiler.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void initMess(void);
void listOptions(void);

int main(void)
{
	initMess();
	listOptions();
	
	printf("\nThe program terminated normally.");
	
	return 0;
}



void initMess(void)
{
	printf("Welcome to my program... blah blah blah.\n\n");
}

void listOptions(void)
{
	int testFlag, input;
	char choice, trash;
	
	testFlag = 0;
	
	do
	{
		printf("\n1) do this.");
		printf("\n2) do that.");
		printf("\n3) how bout this.");
		printf("\n4) quit if you must.");
		printf("\n\n--> "); 
		
		scanf("%d", &input); 
		
		switch(input)
		{
			case 1: printf("\nOption 1 selected.\n"); /* do this */
			        break;
			
			case 2: printf("\nOption 2 selected.\n"); /* do that */
			        break;
			       
			case 3: printf("\nOption 3 selected.\n"); /* how bout this */
			        break;
			        
			case 4: printf("\nAre you sure you wanna quit? <y:n> ");
			 
			        scanf("%c %c", &trash, &choice);
			        
			        if(choice == 'y' || choice == 'Y')
			           testFlag = 1;
			        
			        break;
		    default: /* whatever */
		             break;
		};
		
	}while(testFlag == 0);
}
