I can get the first program to come up, I understand that part. But where I am lost is how do I get the menu to come back up so you can pick another selection?
When I am done with all the functions I should have 5 different ones.
I know it is a loop, but I have no idea how to do the DO..
I attempted different loops and all I get is errors. Thought I had it was down to one error. But got one when linking..
so I took the do loop out completely ( mostly so I don't look like a fool for you guys)
If you can point me in the right direction I would be one happy camper!
CODE
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
//#include (fstream>
using namespace std;
// declare my functions 1st
void main_menu(int &selection);
float program1();
//float program2();
//void exit();
// Global variables?
int selection;
int main() // beginning of main function
{// you must call your function here
main_menu(selection);
if (selection == 1)
{
program1();
}
else if(selection == 2)
{
cout <<"program";
}
else if(selection == 0)
{
return 0;
}
else
{
cout <<"Invaild entry" <<endl;
}
return 0;
}
