Menu selection using function

[leodavinci1990]

Hi I am trying to print out a string that shows the menu item selected in a function. I have the following code. But it is seems I don't have the logic correctly. Any suggestions?

def showMenu():
    print ("\nExample menu")
    print ("-----------------")
    print ("1) File deletion")
    print ("2) File creation")
    print ("3) Exit\n")
    data=int(input("Enter your choice: "))
    return data
data = showMenu()
while data!=3:
    user=showMenu()
    if data==1:
        print("Files deleted")
    elif datat==2:
        print("Files created")
    elif user==3:
        print("Exiting")
    else:
        print("'%s' is an unknown option."%user)
