Hi All,

Hoping you can help with the following.

The psuedo code is:

1. Menu is displayed
2. User inputs a selection
3. That item is ran
4. on completion, the user is returned to 1 above.

the code i have so far is as follows, but its still exiting the program.

            Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
            int menuSelect = scan.nextInt();
            switch (menuSelect)
            {
                case 1:
                    menuSelect = 1;
                    System.out.println("Selection 1");
                    System.out.println("(1) - Main Menu");
                    menuSelect=0;
                    break;
