different values in while using enum?

Hi.
I was wondering is there anyway i can put in different value into my while structure so i don't have to make more switches?
Thanks alot.

p.s. my user defined types in the enum i was thinking could be used in the while structure .

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


void started ( void );            // function prototype :1



int option1;


int main()
{

  cout <<"Hi welcome to the driving program" << endl
       <<"\nPlease press: 2 to start engine" << endl;

  while ( ( option1 = cin.get() ) != EOF ) {               // put in different  option in while structure.

     switch ( option1 ) {

        case '2':
           started();
           break;                                           // to exit switch
   }
 }

return 0;
}

void started ( void )            // function def :1
{
   cout << "Engine started" << endl;
}




//enum GEARS { reverse, first, second, third, fourth, fifth }; // starts at 0 and increments by 1

Hmm don´t really understand your problem (be more specific) but I try anyway ^^. A while statement look like this

Code:

while(some condition)
{
statements;
}

The statements will executed as long as some condition is avaluated as true. To exit the while loop you have to

• some condition must be evaluated as false
• unconditional branch with e.i. break or goto (usually not recommended)

Here is some sample code

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
bool isLooping = true;
int counter = 1;
while(isLooping)
{
	std::cout << "Counter is now: " << counter << std::endl;
	if (counter == 5)
		isLooping = false;//or just break;
	++counter;
}
return 0;
}
