[Tutor] Question about calling functions

[Ara Kooser]

Hello,

  After taking some suggestions from bhaaluu my program for generating
a character works except for one part. You have a choice of excepting
a set of numbers. If you choose n then the program dumps you into:
def navy() instead of going back to def upp().

I am guessing this has to do with how I am calling the functions at
the end of the program:

###############################################################################
# start program here
###############################################################################
print """Welcome to the Classic Traveller character generator.
        Written in Python"""
print """Press return to generate a character"""
raw_input()

print upp()
print """You have a chance to reroll if needed."""
reroll()
navy()

I see that after reroll() it goes to navy(). What I don't understand
is why when you have a choose n it  won't go back to upp(). Thanks.

Ara
