I see the possibility of an switch inside a do/while loop

declare an input variable and a flag variable
set a flag to false
ask the question
do
    obtain the user input
    switch input variable
         wrong input:
             display warning
             set flag false
             break
         right input:
             do this
             set flag true
             break
while flag is false repeat
