Here is an example of how to create a simple menu. You can put that in a method and call it. You can have different menus in different methods. And you can have those methods called from another menu-method:

void menu_1 () {

int choice = 0;
while (true) {
  // print the menu
  //get the input
  
  choice = ...;

  if (choice==1) {
    // do something
  } else if (choice==2) {
    //
  } .... else if (choice==4) {
    // exit the loop
    break;
  } else {
     System.out.println("Invalid choice");
  } 
}

}

You should make the necessary changes for your case.

And you can have 1 method with the main menu: PreEmptive / Non-PreEmptive

And 2 others with menus for PreEmptive and Non-PreEmptive

In the method with the main menu, at the ifs with the choices you can call the other menus:

if (choice==1) {
    // call menu of PreEmptive (different method with its own menu)
  } else if (choice==2) {
    // call menu of Non - PreEmptive (different method with its own menu)
  } .... else if (choice==3) {
    // exit the loop
    break;
  } else {
     System.out.println("Invalid choice");
  }

If you want to get some return values then you need to change "void" in methods you calling for whatever return type you need boolean/int/string/etc.

@javaAddict you been 1 second faster LOL

got it tnx @javaAddict ...(*-*)...

tnx too peter_budo :):)
