Question

Can someone help me with a simple C programming problem?
How do I make some code like this into its own function?
Currently it's pat of the main function, but I want to be able to call it.

If you could help me with the prototype, function call, and definition, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

  

if(some_input=='r'){

someone = 0;

}

else if(some_input=='p'){

someone = 1;

}

else if(some_input=='s'){

someone = 2;

}

else if(some_input=='q' || some_input=='Q'){

break; // Breaks infinite loop and ends the program if user inputs q or Q

}

else {

printf("INPUT ERROR! Please try again.\n\n");

continue;

}

#include <stdio.h>
int func();

int main(){
   int result = func();
   printf("Return value = %d
",result);
   return 0;
}

int func(){
   char some_input, temp;
   int someone;
   while(1){
      printf("Enter a character: ");
      scanf("%c",&some_input);
      scanf("%c",&temp);
      if(some_input=='r'){
         someone = 0;
      }
      else if(some_input=='p'){  
         someone = 1;
      }
      else if(some_input=='s'){
         someone = 2;
      }
      else if(some_input=='q' || some_input=='Q'){
         break; // Breaks infinite loop and ends the program if user inputs q or Q
      }
      else {
         printf("INPUT ERROR! Please try again.

");
         continue;
      }
   }
   return someone;
}
