How do I create menus and submenus so when the user is in a submenu they can go back to the main menu if they want?

RE:Turing Help (urgent)

My code is like this right now:

Turing:

put "dssdsdsds"
put "1=3443434"
put "2=dsadasdas"
var option: int
get option
case option of
label 1 : put "dsadasdas"
var option2:int
get option2
case option2 of
label 1:32323232
label 2: 4343434343
label 2: put fdsfsfsdfsd

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks Smile

code:

[syntax="turing"]Code Here[/syntax]

Have an option on each submenu for going back to the main menu. If the user chooses that option, make the code go back to the top of the loop where the main menu is.

easiest way is to use procedures, make each menu a procedure and when you choose something in a menu, it can just call any of the other menus (or if going back to a previous one, just use return)

you made 3 posts in the same thread in under 4 minutes. 'bumping' is not allowed on compsci, especially 1 minute from the original post.

Re: Turing Help (urgent)

code:

proc foo
/* magic code here */
end foo

proc bar
/* magical-er code here */
end bar

proc blag
/* magical-er-er code here */
end blag

loop
put "foo"
put "bar"
put "blag"
get choice
if choice ==1
cls
loop
bar
exitcommand == true then exit
end loop

else if choice == 2

cls
loop
blag
exitcommand == true then exit
end loop

else if choice == 3

cls
loop
foo
exitcommand == true then exit
end loop

end if

end loop

end loop

Just a outline.

Note: not to scale.

Okay, so the main menu is in a loop. When you click a button, it goes to that menu's procedure, which contains a loop. When you click 'back', it exits that loop, which will then return to the main menu.

syntax_error, in Turing comparisons are done with a single = rather than ==. Just pointing it out Razz

Turing:

proc menu1
loop
%mouse stuff
exit when exitButton clicked
end loop
end menu1

proc menu2
%same as menu1, but with different options
end menu2

%main menu
loop
if menu1 button clicked then
menu1
elsif menu2 button clicked then
menu2
end if
end loop

Can you help me edit my program so it will be in this form? If anyone can than I will send you my program or post it. My program is done and fuctional I just need to put in in the form above. I tried but I failed

Nope. That's called 'thinking'. It's a huge part of programming.

1) Caps Lock should be off when typing 2) We don't do work for you. We will point you in the right direction and give you samples, but never will we write the code for you. EVER. 3) The Code is in this thread. Just take a look. Think about how to do it, then implement it. Don't worry if it doesn't work at first, just trouble shoot it untill you get it to work. 4) If / Else constructs

Also, if you get some sort of error you don't understand, or you don't understand why a specific thing you wrote isn't working, you can repost your code and someone could help you

Re: Turing Help (urgent)

Abbreviating swearwords is more likely to get people to ignore you than help you. There have been multiple ideas posted that will work in this situation. if you just use their suggestions you should be able to figure this out.

Personally, I would go with the procedures.

code:

proc menu1()
%contents
loop
exit when whatever
end loop
end menu1
proc menu2()
%more contents!
loop
exit when whatever
end loop
end menu2
proc menu3()
%EVEN MORE CONTENTS!
loop
exit when whatever
end loop
end menu3

proc mainMenu()
put "option1"
put "option2"
put "option3
get choice
if choice was 1
menu1
elsif choice was 2
menu2
elsif choice was 3
menu3
end if
end mainMenu

loop
mainMenu
end loop

This is essentially a working solution! you just need to put it into Turing and put in menu contents! not only is this a working solution, but TWO other people have already posted almost the exact same thing. when you ask for help, actually read the advice people give you! then you can solve the problem on your own!
