Hi guys - new to the board ( and C in general)...so go easy
I'm currently working on the following code for a musical test and, basically, I'd like to add an option for the user to restart the test from within the program ( rather than running the .exe again).
I'll print something like "Do you want to run the test again? Y/N?"
Do I use another if/else statement ( like, ..if user_input == 'Y' then ...re-run the for loop - or however you code it - else if user_input =='N' then...quit=TRUE?
I know it's a simple question, but I can't seem to suss it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
