C/C++ Need help with C++ program (Implement a PrintMenu() function)

[elmessican]

Implement a PrintMenu() function, which has a string as a parameter, outputs a menu of user options for analyzing/editing the string, and returns the user's entered menu option. Each option is represented by a single character.

If an invalid character is entered, continue to prompt for a valid choice. Hint: Implement Quit before implementing other options. Call PrintMenu() in the main() function. Continue to call PrintMenu() until the user enters q to Quitwhat I'm i doing wrong on this assignment?
all the cases are functions, that i haven't done yet I am just having trouble understanding how to properly declare a variable especially the char and string. Any help would be great thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void ShortenSpace();
void GetNumOfNonWSCharacters();
void FindText();
void ReplaceExclamation();
void ShortenSpace();
void GetNumOfWords();

string GetNumOfNonWSCharacters( string numChar){
   
   
   // Loop index
  for(int i=0; i < numChar.length(); i++)
     if(numChar[i] == ' ') numChar.erase(i,1);
   

   return numChar.length();
   
}

void PrintMenu(string option){
   

do {
cout << "MENU" << endl;
cout << "c - Number of non-whitespace characters" << endl;
cout << "w - Number of words" << endl;
cout << "f - Find text"<< endl;
cout << "r - Replace all !'s" << endl;
cout << "s - Shorten spaces" << endl;
cout << "q - Quit" << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Choose an option: "<< endl;
cin >> option;

switch (option) {
   case 'c':
   GetNumOfNonWSCharacters();
   break;
   
   case 'w': 
   GetNumOfWords();
   break;
   
   case 'f':
   FindText();
   break;
   
   case 'r':
   ReplaceExclamation();
   break;
   
   case 's':
   ShortenSpace();
   break;
   
   case 'q':
   cout << "Bye" ;
   break;
   
   default: cout << option << "Choose an option: ";
   cout << endl;
        }

    } while (option != 'q' );  return option;
}

int main() {
string userInput;
string userOptions;
string menu;
char numChar;

   cout << "Enter a sample text: " << endl;
   getline(cin, userInput);
   cout << "You entered: " << userInput << endl;
   cout << endl;
   
 menu = PrintMenu();
numChar = GetNumOfNonWSCharacters('c');
   cout << "Number of non-whitespace characters: " << numChar<< endl;
   return 0;
}

Okay, I deleted the other. And I would ask that in the future, please use unique thread titles, specific to the questions being asked. Having several threads with the exact same title can be confusing. Thanks! :D
