return to "menu"

[xiaolim]

hi

as shown in the source, i wanted to return to 'choice' in the 'switch' statement so that user can input their choices again after they chose the option.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

    //diaplay welcome message

                                                    break;

                                                            return 0;                                                                           
 
                                                    break;                                                                             
 
                                      }                                         // SWITCH STATEMENT CLOSE
 
                             }                                                  // CHOICE STATEMENT CLOSE
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    security = 5;
    }
 
    if (!security) //if user enter incorrect password or username
 
       cout << "\nYour login has failed. Please check your username and password and try again\n\n";
    } while (!security);
 
 
getch(); 
return 0;
}
 
 

so the question is, how can i loop back to the 'choice' for every case? thank you

Use a loop maybe?

while (1)
{
    cin >> choice;
    switch (choice)
    {
        case 1:
            Add();
            break;
        case 2:
            exit();         //this is the quit choice.
 
}
