    You design your code well, so you don't need to restart. This is rather vague, to match your question

    Or you could get it to spawn a new copy itself.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Code:
    while(something)
    {
       YourCode();
    }

    I want the program to restart once it reaches the end. Like a calculator.

    > restart once it reaches the end.

    You want it to restart every time?

    Code:
    while(1)
    {
       stuff
    }

    LOOP

    The topic you need to study is called "loops". There are for-loops, while-loops, do-while loops... So, you can also look-up "for", "do", and "while".

    [EDIT]
    LOOPING and CONDITIONAL EXECUTION/ CONDITIOAL BRANCHING are the two features that make programming valuable. (IMHO)

    Here is an example of loop I used on a console program I made a while ago.

    Code:
    int main()
    {
          program();
          return 0;
    }
    
    
    void program()
    {
    	while (y != 'e')
    	{
    		menu();
    		cin >> y;
    		ans(y);
    		
    	}
    }
    
    
    void menu() // display menu
    {
    	cout <<endl<< "What would you like to do?" << '\n'<<endl;
          	cout << "[I] Input a date?" << endl;
    	cout << "[O] Output a date?" << endl;
    	cout << "[D] Delete a date?" << endl;
    	cout << "[E] Exit?" << endl << endl;
    }
    
    
    void ans(char y) // handles answers to menu
    {
    	switch (y)
    	{
    		case 'i':
    			input();
    			break;
    		case 'o' :
    			output();
    			break;
    		case 'd' :
    			delet();
    			break;
    		case 'e' :
    			break;
    	}
    }
    Thise is not the full code but I think its a good example on how you could do it for a calculator..

    >i'm going to get really yelled at for this
    So why did you suggest it? void main is very wrong and there are more elegant solutions than goto in this situation.

    My best code is written with the delete key.
