So I am having an issue with my program not re-prompting after purposefully putting in a wrong input just to make sure my program is able to properly validate and range check. The specific function is on line 77, called "int getObjects() { " where my program asks the user between 4 options on what they would like to convert to different types of temperature scales. When I do not type in an option that is one of the four, the code doesn't give the error message and just kinda stops. It doesn't do anything until I restart the program.
So at first I tried putting cout statements on every line of code that relates to the function to see what might cause the issue, and so far I've had my eyes on line 212 function "bool ValWord".
For my assignment, our teacher requires to follow these specifications, and this one was one of them. To go in depth, "Specification A2 - Input Validate C1 Use input validation to confirm the client entered the correct word. Create a function ValWord which examines the input string and returns a boolean true if the word is correct, false if incorrect. Code incorrect values to trigger re-prompting and reentry of the word. Keep looping until true is returned."
So I put a cout statement on this bool function, and when I did it looped my message hundreds of times over till it crashed my Replit, so I believe that this might be the underlying issue, but I do not know how to solve it. I am only intending for this code to just state the error, reprompt, and loop back.
Here is my code
