}

void OSCENT()
{
     printf("ball\n");
}

the problm is when i entered the musolla function and chose on the option,the program wont return to main and ask the user wether they want to continue/not?
when entering diff function,the program able to go back to main..
can someone detect the problem with my coding??

Not sure if this already solves your problem, but in line 85:

Code:

scanf("%s", &path);

you're trying to read a string (= char array) into a single char variable. Format specifier should be "%c" here.

i changed to %c,bt then i cant choose the path.it automatically exit the function and enter the main program
i need the user to 1st choose the path then exit the function

hope someone can help me with this problem..any1??

im sorry,i tried bt it still didnt work..

You mean that yet you can not input?
Can you please post the updated code ?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
void search (char[]);
void calc(int );
void Musolla();
void GPCL();
void AcademicAffairs();
void ExamHall();
void OSCENT();
void DeanOffice();
int main()
{
    char location[20];
    char ans;
    do
    {
      printf("Enter your location: ");
      gets(location);
    
      search(location);
    
      printf("\nDo you want to continue?(Type 'y' for yes, or 'n' for no)\n");
      printf("=>");
      scanf(" %c", &ans);
      fflush(stdin);
         
   } while(ans == 'y');
  
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

void search (char location[])
{
     char Places[6][20] = {"Academic Affairs", "GPCL", "Musolla", "Dean's Office", "Exam Hall", "OSCENT"};
      int i, colour1;
      
      for(i=0;i<10;)
         {
              if(strcmp(location, Places[i]) == 0)
              {
                   colour1= i;
                   break;
              }
                          
              else
              i++;
              if(i==10)
              {
                   colour1 = -1;
                   printf("Invalid location: %s\n",location);
              }
         }

     switch(destin)
     {
        case 1 : AcademicAffairs();
                         break;        
        case 2 : GPCL();
                         break;
        case 3 : Musolla();
                         break;
        case 4 : DeanOffice();
                         break;
        case 5 : ExamHall();
                         break;
        case 6 : OSCENT();
                         break;                   
     }
}

void Musolla()
{
     char path,ans;
     printf("Choose your path- a.Shortest b.Covered c.Handicapped\n ");
     scanf("%c",&path);
     switch(path)
     {
       case'a':
        printf("amir\n");break;
       case'b':
        printf("amir2\n");break;
       case 'c':
        printf("amir3\n");break;
  }
}

void GPCL()
{
     printf("ass\n");
}     

void AcademicAffairs()
{
     printf("baik\n");
}    
     
void DeanOffice()
{
     printf("giler\n");
}     
     
void ExamHall()
{
     printf("air\n");
}

void OSCENT()
{
     printf("ball\n");
}

it still cant return back to main to ask user wether to continue/not

See post #5 again . You did not leave a space before %c .

EDIT : Sorry Tim , I did not see your post

You have to change from

Code:

scanf("%s",..);

to

Code:

scanf(" %c",..);

You have to leave a space before %c!!!!
For more please refer to post #5

done.it work perfectly..thx for everythg

You're very welcome, Amoeba532!
