Thread: help???

Thanks for the clarification, Sebastiani.

As to the OP, you can always call a menu() function from within main().. something like:

Code:

int main()
{
    bool flag = 0;

    while (flag != 1)
    {
        menu();
    }

    return(0);
}

int menu()
{
    // do stuff...

    if (// user says yes to some kind of "are you done" question)
    {
        flag = 1;
        return(0);
    }

    return(0);
}

Ummm, that won't work, flag is local to main, and won't get updated even if it compiled (it wouldn't because flag is unidentified in menu()). Maybe something more like:

Code:

int main()
{
    bool flag = false;

    while (!flag)
    {
        flag = menu();
    }

    return(0);
}

bool menu()
{
    // do stuff...

    if (// user says yes to some kind of "are you done" question)
    {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Please forgive. I have a strong head-cold and ... wow. Yeah. Or you could pass flag in the function defination (int menu(bool flag)). I think. Or just use a global variable (ick).

Your way works though.
