    no accepting my loop

    /I am writting a menu program that lets the user select from a list of options, and if the input is not one
    /of the options, reprint the list.

    /Its not accepting my loop

    Code:
     #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main ()
    {
    int a, b, c, x1, x2 ;
    cout << "Please select from the following a, b, c \n";
    cin >> x1;
    
    while ( ! x2 == a || ! x2 == b || ! x2 == c );
    {
    cout << "Please select again \n" ;
    cin >> x2;
       }
         cin.get ();
    }

    You may mean something like this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main () {
        char x;
        cout << "Please select from the following a, b, c \n";
        cin >> x;
        while ( ! (x == 'a' || x == 'b' || x == 'c') )
        {
            cout << "Please select again \n" ;
            cin >> x;
        }
        cin.get ();
        return 0;
    }
