Mini Internal Assessment Example

In this post , we observe some code which establishes a menu driven interface and shows we can implement data processing from the menus.

This code will be demonstrated in class tomorrow.

See the code below:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
/*
Demonstrates a 2 level menu with
a simple data processing cycle

When faced with the main menu, select 1 then 1 again to
execute the process of calculating area.
