Replacement for goto in switch case


I have written this code to perform multiple mathematical operation, with main menu to select the operation, and repeat it until you want and revert back to main menu. I have looped it using switch case and go-to. I want to replace the go-to, and want suggestions regarding how can I make it function in same way without using go-to. Thank you.

//I want the program of be infinite until you want to exit.Thus I used goto to continuously loop it back to either main menu or the mathematical operation you are in. 
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int a,b,i,num,n;
char rep;
void main (void)

{
//main menu-(main:-for goto function)
main:
{
printf("\nMAIN MENU\n\n1. Factorial\n2. Sum\n3. Odd/Even\n4. Prime Number\n5. Multiplication\n6. Exit\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
}
switch (n)
{
    case 1:
        {
            fact:
            {
            printf("Number- ");
            scanf("%d", &num);
            a=1;
        for(i=1;i<=num;i++)
        {
            a=a*i;
            continue;
        }
        printf("\nFactorial of %d= %d\n\n", num, a);

//This is how I loop it back to main menu or for repeating the mathematical operation using combination of conditional operators and goto.
        printf("Repeat? y/n- ");
        fflush(stdin);
        scanf("%c", &rep);
        (rep=='y')?({goto fact;}):({goto main;});

Solution

  • Considering the fact that you do not want to change your program in any way other than the goto function, you can put your entire code under a do while loop, a while loop or a for loop like this:

    do {
    ....
    } while(rep != 'y')
