Question

[C++] The program works but not in the way I want it to. I am trying to get my program output to look like the picture I posted. In my program, the menu keeps repeating 3x and I don't know how I can add family member separately while at the same time, give them toDo tasks later on...

Explanation / Answer

-Your program is correct just the thing is, in this program you have taken do-while loop. I think this is making trouble for you so please replace the do-while loop by a while loop.
-So First of all it will display you the menu to select then after that you can choose your option out of the 5.  
-When you select to add a family member then it will ask for the name, after that if you will show you the member is added. After this it will again show you the menu that time **its not the the new list it will operate on the same list. So dont misunderstand it that the output is for a new execution.
-**If now you add list using option '3' then its for the member you have entered by option '2'.

[main.cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include "Item.h"
#include "Queue.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Welcome to TODO List Manager! ";
char choice= A.menu();
while(choice != '5')
{
Queue A;
Item B;
switch(choice)
{
case '1':
A.enqueue(A.name);
break;
case '2': A.display();
break;
case '3': B.addNode(B.taskName,B.taskDesc);
break;
case '4': B.deleteNode(B.taskName,B.taskDesc);
break;
default: cout << "System exit ";
}
}
