Thread: Repeat Code

Don't make fun of me because my question seems kind of juvenile to you...I started learning C++ maybe three days ago, so....

With that said, I'm having a problem with a "game" I'm trying to create where the object is to guess a number between 1 and 999. However, if one guesses wrong, the game is *supposed* to go back to the begenning and ask you to guess again. Here's the code.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

	int a = rand()%999;

int main()
{
	int b;
	int a;
	int x = 1;

	cout<<"See if you can crack the code!"<<"\n";
	cout<<"Guess #"<< x <<": ";
	cin>> b;
	cin.ignore();
	x++;
	if (b>a) 
		{
		cout<<"Too high, try again...";
		int main();                                                                  //here
		}
	if (b<a) 
		{
		cout<<"Too low, try again...";
		int main();                                                                  //here
		}
	if (b == a) 
		{
		int win();                                                                   //here
		}
}

int win(void)

{
	char * y;

	cout<<"Correct!";
	cout<<"Try to break another code?" "Y or N";
	cin>> y;
	if (y == "Y")
		{
		int main();                                                                   //here
		}
}

As you can see, all the highlited places are where I want it to go. I thought about using the goto command, but from what I read (here, of course) I decided that the goto command was not what I wanted. If you could give me a hand, it would be much appreciated.
