    Follow the link in my sig. Under the Information heading, follow "An introduction to simple C++ functions". Look up 'getch' and the 'for' and 'do...while' loop examples.

    do {

    // your code here

    } while ( user_response != 'y' && user_response != 'Y' );

    Just be sure that any variables are reinitialized when you go back to the top of the loop. One way to do this is:

    do {

    DoMyCode();

    // now prompt

    } while( user_response != 'y' && user_response != 'Y' );

    By making your code a separate function, you guarantee that the data is reinitialized every time.
    The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. Doubtless this is so. But it proves nothing against the heavens, for the heavens signify simply: the impossibility of crows.
