How to stop executing method

[moamen]

I have a method called menu() which is the controlling method in the programm and this method calls other methods what i need is when a condition happens in any of the other methods(that are called by menu) happens to stop this methods and go back to the menu method()

//what i need
//e.x
add()
//if some condition is false
//stop executing this method
//go back to menu()

//what i do
add()
//if some condition is false
menu();

but i know that what i do that i call the menu method but the add()method is still in execution!!

thanx in advance!!!

If you called the add method from the menu method, then the menu method will continue to execute after the add method returns. You can put a return statement at any point in the add method to force this return to happen before the end of the add method is reached.
Don't forget that the return will return the code execution to the point in the menu method from where the add method was called.

thank you for your reply!!!

but isn't there other ways to do this??!!
As i knew that using break or return statments to break the flow is not a good habbit that decrease code readabilty!!!
Am i right?!?!?!

and thanx again!!:D

Other ways depend on what you are trying achieve. Actually sometimes break and return can make the code more readable.
