Just out of curiousity, doesn't cin.get return a char, not an int? If I am right, you have to do if (ans=='1') and the same with the rest

do u mean like this and if so this didnt work????

}

also....

int main (void)

not void main()

and gotos are the scum of programming - nearly as bad as system calls

what is so bad about gotos? and i dun understand y would u i go
int main(void)


????? but whats wrong with my if statements?

goto - you can read the faq - they are considered bad programmoing practice

it is int main (void) regardless of which books, friends or teachers tekk you otherwise

the return return value returns a value to the calling function or in the case of main to the os - it does return a value which is why it should be initialized as int - as no params arte passed you mark it int main(void)

thats the way it is and the way professional programmers do it

Goto is an absolute, structure-breaking jump that can easily lead to spaghetti code...

ok ill read the goto thing but whats wrong with my if statements tahts it giving me errors
