Turing Help (urgent)

[MikeAlexnder]

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?

[MikeAlexnder]

PLEASE HELP ME!

[MikeAlexnder]

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

code:

You can use a loop. 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.

Can you shoew me how?

[syntax_error]

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 .

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

[Insectoid]

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

PLEASE!!!I BEG YOU!!!!

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

[MikeAlexnder]

It doesn't work!!!!

If it doesn't work, you haven't done this.
