Write a program that shows you a menu offering you the choice of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. After getting your choice, the program asks for two numbers, then performs the requested operation, prints out the expression evaluated and its result. The program should accept only the offered menu choices. It should use type float or double for the numbers and allow the user to try again if he or she fails to enter a number. In the case of division, the program should prompt the user to enter a new value if 0 is entered as the value for the second number. I'm struggling to write this program without using the break statements. I have an idea to write this program by using getchar() statements and the get_first function, but my program is not running.
