Menu Help

Im trying to make a menu but i keep getting one problem that im not sure how to fix.

My code is something like this.

Code:

             cout<<"1=blabla"<<endl;
             cout<<"2=blabla"<<endl;
             cout<<"Choose a number"<<endl;
             cin<<select; 
             if(select==1){
                 blablabla
                  }
             if(select==2){
              bla blabla
                }

Now the problem is that if i pick 2 then if i let it reset select to 0 and pick another number like 1 it thenjust shuts off because i think its reading it form top down so once it goes to 2 it cant move back up to one. How would i go around this?

if you want to have it select more than once then you have to put it in a while loop

ok, you're trying to get the same menu to come up correct?

put in something like

Code:

while( select > 0 && select < 3 )
{
    cin<<select;
    all the other stuff;
}

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int select; //the actual selection you'll be inputing
    int selectCount = 0; //you'll see why i made this later. make sure it's initialized
    
    while (selectCount < 1) //while the variable selectCount is zero
    {
          cout<<"Choice: "; //displays choice
          cin>>select; //input number for the variable select
          cin.ignore() //doesnt close the program when enter is pushed
          
          if (select == 1) //if you type in 1 for the select variable
          {
                     cout<<"\nBla, bla, I pick one!\n"; //what is displayed when 1 is assigned to select
                     selectCount++; //adds 1 to selectCount, making it 1 and ending the while loop
          }
          else if (select == 2) //if you type in 2 for the select variable
          {
                 cout<<"\nBla, bla, I pick two!\n"; //what is displayed when 2 is assigned to select
                 selectCount++; //adds 1 to selectCount, making it 1 and ending the while loop
          }
          else //if anything else is input
          {
              cout<<"\nInvalid Choice!\n\n"; //what is displayed when anything besides 1 or 2 is input
          } //notice there is no selectCount++; , because we dont want the loop to end until 1 or 2 is input
    }
    
    cin.get(); //push enter before program closes
    return 0; //and voila!
}

I hope that helps.
