Just wanted to say thanks...and another question...

[skyruler54]

Thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past. It has helped me to become a better programmer. Now for my question. I have a calculator type program. So after each number it asks if you wish to quit. If there a way that I can flag a certain location then just warp the user back to that flag? Because I don't know of anyway other than not asking and just making the progam exit after every number..Help?

Try a loop

while(1){

if(certain condition for quit)break;
else{

//Do stuff
}

}

be a bit more specific. do you mean that you accept a key, say with getch(), then you're program straight away wants to quit?

[bennyandthejets]

and by the way, people are more likely to help you if you are more specific in the subject spec. Experienced forum browsers just see, 'please help' and 'just one little question' and 'eeasy problem', and ignore it. believe me, you're better off stating your subject matter where everyone can see it

Let me rephrase that. After the person does 1 calculation then program quits. So how can i make it so it just restarts the program?

loops, loops, loops!

char continue = 'y';
while(continue == 'y')
{
   //do something;
   cout << "to stop this loop enter any key but lower case y" << endl;
   cin >> continue;
}

Ummm, continue is a keyword in C++ and can therefore not be used as a variable name.

Thanks for fixing his error. I was wondering why that wasn't working. So where the continue was I use a varible name? Someone please tell me

[elad]

Ooops, yup, use flag or more or Continue or some other variable name instead. Sorry.

Sorry for all these favors but could someone give me a simple program that asks you if you want to continue then loops the code? Cause I am still confused about this. Yes I am an Idiot..lol
Thx in Advance
