hello
i was wondering if somebody could help me.
I'm having problems with the validation of
the below code. When i run it, it seems to
get stuck in the loop. The compiler i'm using
is Borland C++ 5.02

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated
Dave

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h >
#define array_size 10  /* Size of the array */
int error_checker_ints(int);

void main()
{
int menu_option = 0;


while ( menu_option != 8)
{
error_checker_ints(menu_option);
switch ( menu_option )
{
    case 1  :
            printf( "Input Array\n" );
                system("pause");/* pauses the program
                           until any key is pressed */
        system("cls");/* clears the screen */
        break;


        case 2  :
            printf( "Selection Sort\n" );
                system("pause");
                system("cls");
        break;


        case 3  :

        system("pause");
                system("cls");
                break;


        case 7  :

        case 8  :

                  system("pause");
                  system("cls");
                  break;


        default :

                system("pause");

/*FUNCTIONS*/
int error_checker_ints(int temp)
{
    printf("Please enter choose : ");
    while (scanf("%d", &temp) != 1)
        {
            while (getchar() != '\n');
                printf ("Try again: ");
        }
    return temp;
}

run it in the debugger, see what happens.
Set some breakpoints and watches and step through your code.
