problem with the output part whenever I use the "View All Topics" from the menu();
After I entered two topics using the case '1' , I used the case '5'. After seeing the display, the category and the term show the right user input, but the description and the value always shows the second set of topic. I tried finding ways to fix it but nothing seems to work.
The input is like this:
My first set of topic:
term: 1
category: 2
description: 3
value: 4
My second set of topic:
term: a
category: b
description: c
value: d
The output went something like this:
I went to the "View All Topics" part and this is what I got:
Term: 1
Category: 2
Description: c <----- This should be 3
Value: d <---- This should be 4
Can you guys help me with this part? I would be really thankful if someone helps me fix this mess.. :)
