GoTo used to return to menu after a case was carried out, since its bad practice to use GoTo what else could I do? Thanks.
Menu:
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Console.WriteLine("1 = option1")
Console.WriteLine("2 = option2")
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Console.Write("Select an option: ")
opts = Console.ReadLine
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Select Case opts
Case 1
Happening:
Try
Console.Write("Enter a word: ")
word = Console.ReadLine
Select Case word.ToLower
Case Eng(0)
Console.WriteLine(Fre(0))
Case Eng(1)
Console.WriteLine(Fre(1))
GoTo Menu
End Select
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input")
End Try
You need a boolean variable to control the exit from a while loop that encloses your code.
While the boolean variable is true you continue your loop reading the user input, processing it and reprinting the menu choices. Setting the boolean variable to false will terminate the loop.
Don't forget to offer an option to terminate the program
Dim runLoop = true
while runLoop
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Console.WriteLine("1 = option1")
Console.WriteLine("2 = option2")
Console.WriteLine("3 = EXIT")
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Console.Write("Select an option: ")
opts = Console.ReadLine
Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
Select Case opts
Case "1"
Try
Console.Write("Enter a word: ")
word = Console.ReadLine
Select Case word.ToLower
Case Eng(0)
Console.WriteLine(Fre(0))
Case Eng(1)
Console.WriteLine(Fre(1))
runLoop = false
End Select
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input")
End Try
case "2"
.....
case "3"
runLoop = false
End Select
End While
