I have to create a project to get a students info and use strings and structures and can't figure out how to get out of this infinite loop. case 1 is for entering the student info were case 4 will be the Option to quit but the while loop should do everything but case 4 and I am not sure if i have the call menu function in the wrong place or whats going on with it.
*BEGIN Transcript
* Call menu function
* WHILE(menu choice isn't quit)
* SWITCH (Menu choice)
* CASE 1:
* Call student info function
* CASE 2:
* Call coarse info function
* CASE 3:
* Call Calc GPA function
* Call Display function
* END SWITCH
* IF(student name = quit)
* menu choice = quit value
* ELSE
* Call menu choice
* END IF
* END WHILE
*END Transcript

Line 48: There is no need to pass option to menu. The passed value is not used and the compiler gives a warning that option is not initialized.
Line 101: option should be a local variable. There is no reason to pass it in as an arguement.
Under what conditions does your program loop? I entered 1 and it prompted me for a strudent name. I entered a 4 and it quit. After fixing your compile errors. I don't see a problem.

after the changes i figured out that using a space will trigger it to go into a infinite loop.
