Hello again,
I’m making a “Geometry tutor” program which contains instructions, learn, and a practice section where the user can quiz themselves. I have been instructed to use a specific input file for the quiz questions (It is below my code). There are 10 questions in easy(), and after the tenth question the program should return to mainMenu(). Which it does, but the program continues to have input dialogue boxes pop up again. I can’t get rid of them. I have tried noLoop() and loop(), but these do not work.
What should I do to stop the question boxes from appearing when in a separate method? Any advice/tips will be appreciated.
