    Code:
    int menu(void)
    {
      int selection=-1;
      do
      {
        puts("Welcome to C Programming's Message board\nPlease make your selection\n");
        puts("1) I would like to post some code");
        puts("2) I am a lazy dumb arse");
        puts("3) I'm not sure if I'm being insulted or not");
        puts("4) I could swear void main() was my friend");
        puts("selection: ");
        if ( scanf("%d, &selection) != 1 )
        {
          int ch;
          while ( (ch=getchar()) != ' ' );
          selection = -1;
        }
        else
          if ( selection <= 0 || selection > 4 )
            puts("Wow you really are dumber then you look");
      }while (selection <= 0 || selection > );
      return selection;

    [pedantic]
    Code:
    if ( scanf("%d", &selection) != 1 )
    Missing closing double-quote.

    Code:
    }while (selection <= 0 || selection > 4? );
    Missing condition.

    [/pedantic]
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
