Hi. So i have to do the program where we read from a file a certain amount of numbers(not more than 100), and then perform either a bubble or selection sort and a linear or binary search. I wrote the thing down and it read fine, but I can't get it to do anything else. I've been working on it for a while but nothing seems to work. Any help?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

void display_instructions();
void menu();
bool check_file(string filename);
int read_file(int[], int);
void bubble_sort(int[], int);
void selection_sort(int[], int);
int linear_search(int[], int, int);
int binary_search(int[], int, int);




int main() {
		
		display_instructions();
                menu();

}




void display_instructions () {
                cout << "     " << endl ;
                cout << " ************************************************* " << endl ;
                cout << " This program reads an assortment of numbers and \n " ;
                cout << "sorts them in the desired manner." << endl ;
                cout << " ************************************************* " << endl ;
                cout << "     " << endl ;
                }

void menu () {
        char option;
        while (option != 'Q'){
                cout << " \t Menu : " << endl ;
                cout << " \t \t Press 1 to read a file " << endl ;
                cout << " \t \t Press 2 to perform a bubble sort " << endl ;
                cout << " \t \t Press 3 to perform a selection sort " << endl ;
                cout << " \t \t Press 4 to perform a linear search " << endl ;
                cout << " \t \t Press 5 to perform a binary search " << endl ;
                cout << "     " << endl ;
                cout << " Choose an option and press enter or \n press \" Q \" and Enter to quit: " ;

                cin >> option;

Your array and size go out of scope (and lose their values) every time you make a new choice.

Move these to an outer scope, one which persists for as long as you need it to.

And please fix your indentation! It's very hard to read.
