How to repeat a line

**Megamanenm** · 01-11-2009

Now I know that there is a tutorial section about this, but I don't quite get it. So what I want to do is this:

Code:

{
int failorwin;

cout<<"Press 1 to fail, press 2 to win.\n";
cin>> failorwin;
cin.ignore;

if ( failorwin == 1 //here I want it to display a gameover message and return to the first cout
)
if (failorwin == 2 ) {
cout<<"you won!\n";
system("pause");
return(0);
}

Use a while() loop.

Or a do loop.

Eg
do while ( failorwin == 1 )

Code:

{
	int failorwin;
	do{
		cout<<"Press 1 to fail, press 2 to win.\n";
		cin>> failorwin;
		cin.ignore;
		if( failorwin == 1 ){
			cout<<"You fail.";
		}
	}while( failorwin !=2 )

	cout<<"you won!\n";
	system("pause");
	return(0);
}

edit: This would also be a nice time to use an enumerator.

Missing () in red.

When I copy the code it doesn't work?

Define doesn't work. We're not mind readers.

Well if you just use my lines they won't work because there is no main function declaration.
