Thread: if statement in while loop

Hello, i am wondering if there is a better way to have this same thing happen with out butchering this code:

Code:

   
        //Race
   cout << "Race choices:  human, elf\n";
   cout << "Race: \n";
   cin >> race;
   cin.ignore(100, '\n');
   
   bool boolRace = 0;
   while((strcmp(race, "human")!=0)&&(boolRace == 0))
    {      
       if (strcmp(race, "elf")!=0)
       {
           cout << "YOU FAIL! \n...Race: \n";
           cin >> race;
           cin.ignore(100, '\n');
       }
       else
       {
           boolRace = 1;
       }
    }   
  cout << "Name:  " <<  charName <<  "\n" 
       << "Race:  "  <<  race << "\n";

Im refering to the "if statement" inside the while loop.
thanks
