c++ question

Just create a true while loop to print your options and inside it use a switch to control what functions are run depending on which menu option is selected. Have it break from the loop when the user decides to exit

Thanks. I've done both before so that should be easy enough, just set a do/while and have a char-based switch or whatever.

But really is there anyway to print infinite cout statements for as long as the user enters new compounds? They enter one, it displays four, they enter one in the next loop, it displays five, etc. Something something array?

Yea you can have a function do a while loop as mentioned and just quit exit that loop when inputting something specific. i.e. Q

This is some sort of meme that I'm unaware of, isn't it?
Fuck. I guess the only answer is for me to lurk more, or alternatively fuck off to stack exchange

L2Implement event handler loops

int printMenu(){
 cout << "This is my Menu!\n1. Option 1\n2. Option 2.......... \n(q)uit\nSelection : ";
 int selection;
 cin >> selection;
 if (selection == 113 || selection == 81) return -1; // Return - 1 if ascii for q
 if (selection < 1 || selection > #NUMOPTIONS) { cout << selection << " is an invalid selction.\n"; return printMenu();}
 return selection;
}

int main(){
 while (true) {
  int choice = printMenu();
  switch (choice){
    case 1:
      doFunction1();
    case 2:
       doFunction2();
    case 3:
       etc();
     default: //if choice == -1
        return; //quit
 }
}

forgot my break statements in the switch, but you get the point

>>58823817
that is not event handling, lmao

>waits for a keyboard event after printing menu
>handles said event
It's event handling at it's simplest form

>>58824303
No that event, but giving it the name 'event handling' is misleading because anon might get more experienced and find out that event handling has a different meaning in most cases.

Not that anon* damn it.
