#include <stdio.h>
#pragma warning(disable : 4996)
#include <stdbool.h>
int option_choose = 5;
bool control_state = true;

int on = 1;

int main() {
    while (true) {

        if (option_choose == 5) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Rezervari hotel meniu\n");

            printf("[1] Optiunea 1\n");
            printf("[2] Optiunea 2\n");
            printf("[3] Optiunea 3\n");
            printf("[4] Optiunea 4\n");

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);
        }
       

        else if (option_choose == 1)) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Optiunea 1\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");
            on = 0;

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);
        }
        else if (option_choose == 2) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Optiunea 2\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);
            

        }
        else if (option_choose == 3) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Optiunea 3\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);


        }
        else if (option_choose == 4) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Optiunea 4\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);


        }
        else if (option_choose == 5) {
            system("cls");
            printf("Optiunea 5\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");

            scanf("%d", &option_choose);


        }


    }
    

    return 0;
}

My interactive menu is half finished because I don't know how to stop the user from inputting another number in a submenu (optiunea 1, optiunea 2, etc). I want to only press 5 but i don't know how to implement this. I wanted to do this alone but i feel this might be a chance to get some code review. Thanks

if i understand you correctly you want to validate user input? (i.e. you want to accept a specific range of numbers?). if thats the case simply loop user the input requesting it to be sent again as long as its wrong. consider:

int input = some_invalid_input;
while(input != ...) { // or while(input < ... || input > ...)
  if(scanf("%d", &input) != 1) { ... }
  // request another input
}```
you can rewrite that loop as you see fit

if(scanf("%d", &input) != 1) this is nice

Hold on im gonna change my code

oh it works

else if (option_choose == 1) {
    system("cls");
    printf("Optiunea 1\nApasati [5] ca sa va intoarceti inapoi la meniul principal.\n");
    on = 0;

    while (option_choose != 5){
        scanf("%d", &option_choose);
    }
}

nice
