Another n00b c++ question (restarting app)

Hi. I've made a simple application that can calculate between meters and inches, centigrades and fahrenheit and a bunch of other things. My problem is that I've made it so the int main() thing has a menu (displayed using cout, then a cin to accept user input). When the user chooses an option, the program then uses a switch depending on which option was chosen. When the user has typed in some stuff to be calculated, the application is terminated. Is there a way to restart the application instead ?

By "restart" do you mean go back to the main menu? You can use a simple while loop to do this. Add a choice to your menu labeled exit. The while loop condition should check to see if the user inputted this option. If they did, then quit the program.

well if ou put some code,not all, an esencial part,
We can figure out

Code:

---

char op;
do{
        your code
  blah blah blah
cout<<"do you want more,again ??? Y/N";
cin>>op;
}while( op!='n');

maybe this is what you need, Im glad if this help you!!!
take care,
abyss.

You could just put your menu into a function

Code:

---

void Menu()
{

    //+---Menu Code---+

}

int main()
{

    Menu();    //+---Show Menu---+
   
    //+---Make choices----+

    //+---If you want to go again---+
    Menu();

    //+---ELSE quit---+

}

---

Vicious: Well you don't know how many times the user of the program wants to try again, and therefore the while-loop is the best solution :)

Ah, I cant believe I did that, everything Ive been programming lately has been large projects with a main loop and I guess I just forgot.

he could do this then...

Code:

---


int main()
{

    for(;;) {

        Menu();
        Choice();

        if(Choice() == QUIT) break;

    }

    return 0;

}

Yes, sounds a lot more reasonable :D
