Ah. Its a simple error on our hand.
We forgot that floats cannot be compared directly
0.33333 = 0.33 will not return true always and even it does, change in the execution environmet(compiler, hardware, etc) will behave unpredictably.
try :
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. void diviGame(const double result, const double answer, 
  2. 			   int & diviWins, int & diviLosses, int & diviTotal)
  3. {
  4. 	if (fabs(answer - result) < 0.01 )	//decide winning
  5. 		diviWins++; 
  6. 	else						//or loss
  7. 		diviLosses++;
  8.  
  9. 	diviTotal++;
  10.  
  11. }

and see if it works now....

Hope that solves the problem.
Cheers
PEACE !

Yea with that it gets decimals but it wont get fractions and when I put a fractions the game terminates and shows the results it doesn't even ask if the user wants to keep playing.

Ah. Floats cant be compared directly. And even if you get a result, the same code might not work on different runtime environments(cmpiler, hardware, etc). Therefore u need to set a margin.
Improved code:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. void diviGame(const double result, const double answer, 
  2. 			   int & diviWins, int & diviLosses, int & diviTotal)
  3. {
  4.  
  5. 	if (fabs(answer - result) < 0.01 )	//decide winning
  6. 		diviWins++; 
  7. 	else						//or loss
  8. 		diviLosses++;
  9.  
  10. 	diviTotal++;
  11. }

Hope this helps.

Cheers
PEACE !

See, if u want to compare fractions, why not covert the fraction into string and then compare the strings(the answer and the result)
PEACE !
