hi peeps!

I'm wondering that in my program...
Heres the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int DOB;
	cout << "Please enter your date of birth...\n" << endl;
	cin >> DOB;
	cin.ignore();
	if (DOB < 2006) 
    {
		cout << "Erh, you were not born in this year!\n" << endl;
	}
	else if (DOB == 2006) 
    {
		cout << "Oioi, howz your first year?\n" << endl;
	}
	else 
    {
		cout << "WTF are you on aboot? You arn't even born yet!\n" << endl;
	}
	cin.get();
}

How do i go back to the start after i've inputed the year and it outputs the phrase?
All help will be appreciated

I'm no pro, but couldn't you just add a for or while statement at the beginning?

hmmmmm...
I'm not sure that will work.
Because while and for and do...while only executes the program if it meets the conditions.
Thanks for the help though.

You can set the conditions to be whatever you want. If you always want it to go back to the beginning, you can make the condition true. So the while (true) will continue to go back to the start over and over again. You can also later add code to end the program if something happens, for example if the user enters -1 for DOB, then you can exit the loop.

The while loop is what you want.

Could you explain how to do this?

Again, I'm no pro, but if my past experience with c serves me well, this is all you should need, no?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	while (DOB!=-1)
	{
		int DOB;
		cout << "Please enter your date of birth...\n" << endl;
		cin >> DOB;
		cin.ignore();
		if (DOB < 2006) 
		{
			cout << "Erh, you were not born in this year!\n" << endl;
		}
		else if (DOB == 2006) 
		{
			cout << "Oioi, howz your first year?\n" << endl;
		}
		else 
		{
			cout << "WTF are you on aboot? You arn't even born yet!\n" << endl;
		}
		cin.get();
	}
}

A tutorial would have been nice too:

it works, thank you very much!

>> while (DOB!=-1)
With that code you'd have to have DOB declared before the loop, and you'd want to initialize it to some value other than -1. If you leave it unitialized, then it might accidentally be -1 when you run the program and nothing will happen.

I know, I Sort of corrected the declaring problem

I would use a do..while loop for that sort of thing - another poster already pointed out the problem with DOB being undeclared; a do..while loop also guarantees that the block of code runs at least once.

hi bench82, i used the other method and encounted a few probs, but i took your advice and it works just fine, thanks!!!
