Hi guys, I am back from my hols.
Jacob S gave me this little exercise to do a little while ago.
1) Make a program to compute the areas of several figures. Make it display a menu on startup, ask for a choice, and then compute the area of the figure chosen by asking for dimensions.
2) Make another script similiar to #1 using volumes instead of areas
I have decided to merge the 2 scripts. First I should have a menu asking me if I want to compute areas or volumes. Then depending on the choice it should display the relevant menu. My first menu comes on but if I select "b" or "c" the script does not run. The error message points out that "print_options()" or "print_options_2()" are not defined. Could somebody point me into the right direction, thanks.
