my do-while loop won't exit

I'm trying to make a very basic text-based pokemon RPG type battle program for fun, but for right now my do-while loop condition isn't working. Do I have to add an incrementer or decrementer at the end?

Code:

---

    do {
        cout << "1. Scratch" << endl;
        cout << "2. Fly" << endl;
        cout << "3. Flamethrower" << endl;
        cout << "4. Wing Attack" << endl << endl;

        cout << "Attack number -> ";
        cin >> move;

        switch (move)
        {
            case 1:

            cout << "Your " << pk1 << " does scratch!" << endl;
            damage = ((((2 * level / 5 + 2) * e_atk * scratch / def) / 50) + 2) * stab * weak * randnum / 100;
            e_hp = e_hp - damage;
            cout << pk2 << " is inflicted with " << damage << " damage!" << endl;
            cout << pk2 << " has " << e_hp << " left!" << endl << endl;
            break;
        }

    } while ( (hp > 0) || (e_hp > 0) );

Perhaps because your while loop basically says
while ( i'm alive || he's alive )

This will be true all the time, unless both manage a kill in the same strike.

Perhaps && instead, if you want to exit as soon as one is dead.

Thanks, I had my logic mixed up with AND and OR there with the while loops. Gotta remember AND comes to false if none or only one of the inputs are true, and OR comes to false if neither inputs are true.

Hmm, these attacks remind me of something... is it a clone of Pokémon?

My interpretations of the variable pk1 and the S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus) multiplier tells me yes. I used a Pokémon nerd >.<
