Please format your code.

First obvious mistake is calling main() recursively instead of using a loop.
Not only is this forbidden by the standard, you're getting fresh uninitialised arrays every time.

Oh okay okay sorry for that I'm just new in coding

Another sweep through what you have reveals a few ways to simplify your code and avoid the complexity of the the several choices. eg If you enter an item and want to continue, instead of asking the question the way you have, selecting the existing menu item does exactly the same at no extra cost.

Having the menu as a function makes the code easier to handle/debug (instead of the illegal call to main()'), but it's not mandatory so just copy the lines back in to the while loop.

There are lots of things to do like validating user input to avoid crashes but that can be done later.

cout << "Enter Item no: ";

cout << "Enter Quantity: ";
cin >> item_quant;


The total price for that item is the price for that item * quantity.

The total purchase price is the sum of the totals for all the purchased items.
