    Wondering about repeating an entire program

    okay, so i have a basic calculator program (sorry i can't post it, on another computer) but i have the entire calculator as a function. So to run it i just need to type : calculator(); after that i have these little lines as a function, and i type lines(); and it looks like this:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    anyways, how do i make it so that my program will repeat the calculator function every time, after the lines function? is it some kind of loop?? i couldn't figure out if it was!

    thanks in advance!

    Code:
     do{ 
     calculator();
     lines();
     } while (1==1)
    thanks!

    a better idea might be to return a variable (maybe a bool) from the calculator function, and if the person chooses to exit the program the calculator function returns false. otherwise it returns true.

    for example

    Code:
    // prototype
    bool calculator();
    
    int main()
    {
    
       while ( calculator() );
    
    return 0;
    }

    that while loop is basically an empty loop that accomplishes the same thing as yours did, but it gives the option to exit the program.
    I came up with a cool phrase to put down here, but i forgot it...
