    Unhappy what did i do wrong ?

    i design a guessing game

    #include <iostream.h>

    int main()

    {
    int guess;
    cout << "Guess what number i am thinking... : ";
    cin >> guess;
    if (guess != 56)
    {
    if (guess != 56)
    cout << "Guess Again....: ";
    cin >> guess;
    }
    else if (guess == 56)
    {
    cout << "You are correct: ";
    }
    return 0;
    }

    when i run guess.exe the statement guess what number i am thinkning comes up

    i input a number thats not 56 i get guess again
    if i enter the any number weither or not it is correct it goes to the prompt c:\debug>_ instead of letting me guess again or outputing the You are correct statement.

    1)This:
    Code:
    if (guess != 56) 
    { 
    if (guess != 56)
    isn't right. Take out the second if. Right now, you're just checking it twice. It won't kill anything, but there's no reason for it to be there.

    2)For what you're trying to do, you'll want smth more like this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h> 
    
    int main() 
    { 
    int guess = 0; 
    while (guess != 56)
    {
       cout << "Guess what number i am thinking... : "; 
       cin >> guess; 
       if (guess == 56)
           cout << "You are correct!";
       else
           cout << "Guess again"<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
    }

    try this....
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h> 
    #include<stdlib.h>
    int main() 
    
    { 
    int guess; 
    cout << "Guess what number i am thinking... : "; 
    cin >> guess; 
    if (guess != 56) 
    { 
    cout << "Guess Again....: "; 
    cin >> guess; 
    } 
    else if (guess == 56) 
    { 
    cout << "You are correct: "; 
    } 
    system("PAUSE"); // this will alow you to see the output
    return 0; 
    }
