exiting program

in the program i am doing i need to give the option to the user for exiting the program totally at certain points in the game, i was wondering if anybody could help me out with writing the code for it. The program is containing a lot of for and while loops. thanks in advance for helping

Just call the exit() function if you want to bail out from the whole program.

If you're in main() you can use return x. If you're in a function other than main() you can return a value up the stack to main():

Code:

---

int main(void) {
    /* ... */
    if(one()) return 1;
    /* ... */
}

int one(void) {
    /* ... */
    if(two) return 1;
    /* ... */
    return 0;
}

int two(void) {
    /* ... */
    if(error) return 1;
    /* ... */
    return 0;
}
