    You can use the function's return value for that.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>  /* for tolower() */
    
    int game(void) {
        /* play the game */
        printf("Would you like to play again? (y/n) ");
        return tolower(getchar()) == 'y';
    }
    
    int main(void) {
        while(game());
    
        return 0;
    }
    dwk
