Question

A noob question I’m sure.
For example, say I have a program that looks something like this.

def method1():
    #do something here

def method2():
    #do something here

#this is the menu
menu=input("What would you like to do?\ntype 1 for method1 or 2 for method2: ")
if(menu=="1"):
    method1()
if(menu=="2"):
    method2()

How can I make this menu appear again after a method has finished instead of the program terminating?

I was thinking I could wrap the whole program into an endless loop, but that doesn’t feel right 😛

Answer 1

while True:
    #this is the menu
    menu=input("What would you like to do?\ntype 1 for method1 or 2 for method2: ")
    if(menu=="1"):
        method1()
    if(menu=="2"):
        method2()

If the endless loop “doesn’t feel right”, ask yourself when and why it should end. Should you have a third input option that exits the loop? Then add:

if menu == "3":
    break
