    How to return to main screen?

    Hello!

    I managed to run a program like this:

    Recipe List

    1) Meat Balls
    2) Curry
    3) Steak
    4) Vegetable Stew

    Choice:_
    If the user input 1, this will happen:

    Meat Balls

    Ingredients:
    blah..
    blah..


    Would you like to check another recipe? Y/N _
    Now, the question is: If the user input 'Y', how will I return to my program's "home page" which is

    Recipe List

    1) Meat Balls
    2) Curry
    3) Steak
    4) Vegetable Stew

    Choice:_
    Thanks for the help!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    My next question would be:

    What's a good program (looping statement) for this one:

    1
    4
    9
    16
    25

    Thanks for the replies!

    You might use an algorithm like:
    Code:
    check_recipe_flag = true
    while check_recipe_flag
        print menu
        read user's option
        display recipe
        check_recipe_flag = check_next_recipe()

    I wrote my program this way:

    Code:
    #include<conio.h>
    #include<stdio.h>
    void main()
    {
    clrscr();
    int choice;
    printf("Recipe List\n");
    printf("1) Meat Balls\n");
    printf("2) Curry\n");
    printf("3) Steak\n");
    printf("4) Vegetable Stew\n\n");
    printf("Enter No. of Choice:");
    scanf("&#37;d",&choice")
         if (choice==1)
           {
            clrscr();
            int wouldyoulike
            printf("Meatballs Ingredients\n");
            printf("Would you like to see our other recipes? (1) Yes (2) No");
            scanf("%d",&wouldyoulike);
    Okay, so let's stop here. The monitor yould output this like:

    Code:
    Recipe List
    
    1) Meat Balls
    2) Curry
    3) Steak
    4) Vegetable Stew
    
    Choice:_
    If the user input 1, this will happen:

    Code:
    Meat Balls Ingredients:
    
    
    Would you like to see our other recipes? (1) Yes (2) No _
    Now, the question is: If the user input '1', how will I return to my program's "home page" which is

    Code:
    Recipe List
    
    1) Meat Balls
    2) Curry
    3) Steak
    4) Vegetable Stew
    
    Choice:_

    How about indentation and posting the compiler errors you get?

    Where will I put this one?
    check_recipe_flag = true
    while check_recipe_flag
    print menu
    read user's option
    display recipe
    check_recipe_flag = check_next_recipe()

    That's pseudocode. You turn it into actual code yourself. Read through it to understand what kind of workflow your program should have and then try to code that.
