Loop won't break or return

I have function that should keep looping until "Return" is entered. Whenever I enter return, the program ignores it. If I type it once more, it goes to the else statement. And if I type Return a third time, it ends the program. I just want it to return to main() and I just can't seem to do it.

Try adding the condition for that in the while loop on line 14.
So, I should remove the condition from line 16 and add it to line 14? Also, I tried changing return to break and nothing happened as well
Nevermind, it was an oversight on my part. The error was actually in my main function.
