Need Help For nested loop

elbuto00 (9)
do{
MAIN MENU
1. Count String
2. Random Numbers
3. Exit
Enter Your Choice:

if (1)
Enter String: EXAMPLE
Do you want to try again? y/n (if YES it will just return to Enter String, if NO it will return to MAIN MENU)

same to else if(2)
Enter Number: EXAMPLE
Do you want to try again? y/n (if YES it will just return to Enter String, if NO it will return to MAIN MENU)

else exit

(below is my codes so far, I'm using turbo C

Ok, what is your question?
I don't see any nested loops.
elbuto00 (9)
how to return to main menu if i type N in here

if (1)
Enter String: EXAMPLE
Do you want to try again? y/n (if YES it will just return to Enter String, if NO it will return to MAIN MENU)

First of all, why don't you use cout? Are you coming from a background of C?
Anyway, in answer to your question, you should use:
1
2
3
4
5
6

8

Does this fix the problem?

@theturk1234 & OP - you have some problems in the code you posted which were inherited from the OP.

line 18-19: You're doing a scanf into numm which is an int. That's never going to compare to a quoted string ("N"). You probably want to be comparing numm to 3, which is what is specified in the menu.

Line 42,59: You're using the wrong scanf operator. You should be using %c to read into a char.

Line 23: Do not call srand() within a loop or a random number function. srand() sets the RNG to a particular starting point. Calling srand() repeatedly can cause the RNG to return the same random numbers. srand() should be called ONCE at the beginning of main().
