Thread: menu problem!!! need U R G E N T help!!!

i want to make a menu and i am almost finished typing it. but i don't know how to return to the main menu again after an option is chosen.

my program:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void main_menu( );

 int main( )
{
  

main_menu();

  return 0;

} 




void main_menu()
{ int selection;
  
  printf( "*** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***\n" );  
  printf( "** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * **\n" );  
  printf( "* *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** *\n" );  
  printf( " ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** \n" );
  printf( "****          Welcome to MY PROGRM!       ****\n" );
  printf( " ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** \n" );
  printf( "* *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** *\n" );
  printf( "** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * **\n" );
  printf( "*** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***\n\n" );
          
  printf(" What is you name?");
  scanf("&#37;s");
  
               
         printf("\nPlease choose one of the options below and enter its number: \n\n");
         printf(" 1) Count the total number of words\n");
         printf(" 2) Count the total number of vowels\n");
         printf(" 3) Count the total number of capital letters\n");
         printf(" 4) Reverse the text inputted\n");
         printf(" 5) Capitalize the first letters and lowercase other letters\n");
         printf(" 6) Exit\n\n");

  printf("Choose an option: ");
  scanf("%d", &selection);
 
  switch(selection){
    case 1:
      {

       /*function 1*/
      
}
      break;
      
    case 2:
      {
	
      /*function 2*/

	
}
      break;
    case 3:
      {

       /*function 3*/
        
}

      break;
    case 4:
      {
	
       /*function 4*/
	
}
      break;
    case 5:
      {
 
       /*function 5*/
	
}

      break;
    case 6:
      {
       int ch;
       fflush(stdin);
	do
	{
	   puts("\nAre you sure you want to quit ? (Y/N)\n");
	   ch = getc(stdin);
	   if (ch == 'y')
	{
	    printf("\nThank you for using ! Byebye!\n");
	    exit(0);
	}
	    else if (ch == 'n')
	{
	    puts("\nReturning to main menu...\n\n");
         
            main_menu();

            return ;
	
	}
	}while(ch != 'n' || ch != 'y');
	break;
}
      break;
      default: 
      printf("\nInvalid selection! Program will end automatically.\n");
      break;
      
  }

}

i want to know how i can return to the main menu again without showing the following text

Code:

 printf( "*** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***\n" );  
  printf( "** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * **\n" );  
  printf( "* *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** *\n" );  
  printf( " ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** \n" );
  printf( "****          Welcome to MY PROGRM!       ****\n" );
  printf( " ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** \n" );
  printf( "* *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** *\n" );
  printf( "** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * *** * **\n" );
  printf( "*** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***\n\n" );
          
  printf(" What is you name?");

but directly show the following part to the user.

Code:

 printf("\nPlease choose one of the options below and enter its number: \n\n");
         printf(" 1) Count the total number of words\n");
         printf(" 2) Count the total number of vowels\n");
         printf(" 3) Count the total number of capital letters\n");
         printf(" 4) Reverse the text inputted\n");
         printf(" 5) Capitalize the first letters and lowercase other letters\n");
         printf(" 6) Exit\n\n");

  printf("Choose an option: ");
