Question

Hey can anyone see what wrong with my menu in the while loop it keeps printing out dixie if i press 1 in an unlimited loop. I have a while loop around the menu so that the menu is always there for the user to go back through choices.
here is my code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int choice;
    bool menu = true;
    cout <<"========Welcome to the database menu========\n";

    cout << "Press 1 to insert a new record at a particular position\n"
            "Press 2 to delete a record from a particular position\n"
            "Press 3 to search the database  and print results\n"
            "Press 5 to find the average experience points of players at a particular level\n"
            "Press 6 to find and remove all duplicate entries\n"
            "Press 0 to quit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";

    cout << "Choice: ";
    cin >> choice;
    //*****************************************************************************
    // Switch menu to display the menu.
    //*****************************************************************************
    while(menu)
    {
        switch (choice)
        {
            case 1:
                cout << "dixie";
                break;
            case 2:
                cout << "bexie";
                break;
            default:
                cout<< "That is not a choice!!!\n";
        }
    }    
    getchar();
    getchar();
}

It says while (menu) and that means it’ll keep doing that until you set menu to false.

Also, I think you want to add the cin >> choice in the loop, or it’ll just repeat the selection again and again.
