Pseudocode:

(Toggle Plain Text)

while (noErrors)
   Printblock (
   Tasks:
      1) Produce guest list
      2) Organize finance
      3) Books
      4) Sort
   }
   Print (Select task to perform:)
   Get (userinput)
   switch (userinput) 
   {
      case 1: guestList (); break;
      case 2: finance (); break;
      case 3: books (); break;
      case 4: sort (); break;
      default: Print ("Bad input");
                 noErrors = false;
   }
}

I wouldn't suggest using JavaScript/VBScript for this task.

thankx Dawei , and i have the choice to use pseudo code . or make a flow diagram , just trying to work out how and where to post on this forum . would you lot recomend using a flow diagram ?
i mean i have been told to make sure that i start with 5 steps and from those branche of into 5 more and so on but no more than 5 . for example

as i have opted to do the system where it has to teach somebody how to plan and run a party. it would go as followed

Produce guest list -

have you produced a guest list = if no then ( at this point i need it to go back and repeat the question until completed this task).
once yes has been selcted then
have invites been produced if no then produce them .
have replies been retrieved if yes then
have you got a total guest list count.

thats really basic but im relaly just strating out so i guess its going to be like that. Thats just for the guest list part , i still have yet to cover other parts (venue,food/drink,finance)

i have also been old to use compound and nested statements , any1 with brief knowledge of these , as mine is non existent at the moe . also i got to many if statements going on anyway to get rid of these ? ..
