    Running multiple programs

    My sample, stupid fake code:
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int x;
    
    int main(void)
    {
    cout << "Option 1, 2 or 3?"
    cin x;
    switch(x)
    case 1:
    {run this program}
    break;
    case 2:
    {run this other program}
    break;
    case 3:
    {quit}
    break;
    OK, can I get it to finish one case and then go back to the top of the program? My knowledge of this is...limited at best, so please don't laugh at me if, say, it already does what I'm trying to do.

    Add a loop...
    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
       int Quit=0;
       while( !Quit )
       {
            cout << "Option 1, 2 or 3?"
            cin x;
            switch(x)
            {
            case 1:
                 {run this program}
                  break;
            case 2:
                 {run this other program}
                  break;
            case 3:
                 Quit=1;
                 break;
            }
       }
        return 0;
    }

    I was hoping there was a faster way to do it, but thanks.
