I've tried chatGPT but to no avail. I tell the code to break but it does not break - it is frustrating. When the user select Exit
it is meant to stop selecting - mimicking Bash's select statement. Please help.
Your issue stems from you not exiting your main() while loop
def main():
dmn_options = ["lenovo", "rasbberrypi", "Exit"]
while True:
display_menu(dmn_options)
user_choice = select_single_l(dmn_options);print(user_choice)
Here is an example doing so without altering your original code too much.
def main():
dmn_options = ["lenovo", "rasbberrypi", "Exit"]
while True:
display_menu(dmn_options)
user_choice = select_single_l(dmn_options);print(user_choice)
if user_choice == None:
break
def display_menu(options):
print("Select an option:")
for index, option in enumerate(options, start=1):
print(f"{index}. {option}")
def select_single_l(options):
choice=None
while True:
try:
i = int(input("Enter the number of your choice: "))
if 1 <= i <= len(options) - 1:
choice=options[i - 1]
print(f"You selected {choice}.")
break
elif i == len(options):
print("Exiting the menu.")
break
else:
print("Invalid choice. Please enter a valid number.")
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")
break
return choice
