Nested switch statements and functions

[luvsom]

My first time posting here so I dunno if Im doing this right or not....
I am trying to use nested switch statements to find either the area or volume. If i pick something off the first menu (area), when the answer compiles the volume menu still shows up. What am I doing wrong here???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. THANKS!

No break after case 1:

[luvsom]

I tried putting a break after case 1 but then the next switch statement doesnt run. The program just ends.

[kevinchkin]

Where did you put it? It should be just before case 2:

[luvsom]

i put it like this...

case 1:
		// Display the area menu
			cout << " -- Area Menu -- \n"
				 << "a) Rectangle\n"
				 << "b) Circle\n"
				 << "c) Right Triangle\n\n";

			cout << "Enter a menu choice: ";
			cin >> next_menu_choice;
			cout << endl;
    break;

but yea....after case 1 it went right to the system pause and ended.hmmm

switch ( menu_choice )
		{
			case 1:
		// Display the area menu
			cout << " -- Area Menu -- \n"
				 << "a) Rectangle\n"
				 << "b) Circle\n"
				 << "c) Right Triangle\n\n";

			cout << "Enter a menu choice: ";
			cin >> next_menu_choice;
			cout << endl;	
			
			
				switch ( next_menu_choice )
				{
				case 'a':
				case 'A':
					cout << "Enter the length: ";
					cin >> length;
					cout << "\nEnter the width: ";
					cin >> width;
					RectangleArea(length, width);
					cout << endl;
					break;

				case 'b':
				case 'B':
					cout << "Enter the radius: ";
					cin >> radius;
					CircleArea(radius);
					cout << endl;
					break;

				case 'c':
				case 'C':
					cout << "Enter the base: ";
					cin >> base;
					cout << "Enter the height: ";
					cin >> height;
					RightTriangleArea(base, height);
					cout << endl;
					break;
				}
break;
			case 2:
			// Display the volume menu
			cout << " -- Volume Menu -- \n"
				 << "a) Cylinder\n"
				 << "b) Sphere\n";

Ahhhhh I see...Thank you so much!!
