    Help with a program

    My teacher is asking me "Prompt the user if they'd like to do another cost of commute calculation. If they enter 'Y' or 'y', then repeat; otherwise, print the following and exit the program. "

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main(int, char**) {
        int milesPerDay;
        int daysPerWeek;
        int weeksPerYear;
        int milesPerGallon;
        double pricePerGallon;
        
            
        cout << "How many miles round-trip a day do you commute?";
        cin >> milesPerDay;
        cout << "How many days a week do you commute?";
        cin >> daysPerWeek;
        cout << "How many weeks a year do you commute?";
        cin >> weeksPerYear;
        cout << "How many miles per gallon does your vehicle get?";
        cin >> milesPerGallon;
        cout << "What is the current per gallon price of gas?";
        cin  >> pricePerGallon;
        
        int milesPerYear = milesPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear;
        int gallonsPerYear = milesPerYear / milesPerGallon;
        double gasMoneyPerYear = gallonsPerYear * pricePerGallon;
        double monthlyGasExpense = gasMoneyPerYear / 12;
        cout << milesPerDay << " " << "miles a day" << endl;
        cout << daysPerWeek << " " << "days a week" << endl;
        cout << weeksPerYear << " " << "weeks a year" << endl;
        cout << milesPerGallon << " " << "miles per gallon" << endl;
        cout << "$" << pricePerGallon << " " << "per gallon" << endl;
        cout << "monthly gas expense:" << "  " << monthlyGasExpense << endl;
        system("pause");
        
        char loop = 'Y' || 'y';
        cout << "Would you like to do another cost of commute calculation?"
             << "Enter y for yes enter n for no" << endl;
        cin >> loop;
        if (loop = 'Y' || 'y') {
            
        
    }
    What do I do in order to get the program to loop?

             << "Enter y for yes enter n for no" << endl;
        cin >> loop;
        }while (loop=='Y' || loop=='y');
            
        
    }
