Shouldn't continue in my else statement return me to the top do...while loop and print the following again?

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <string>
  3. using namespace std;
  4.  
  5. int main()
  6. { 
  7.    double withdraw, deposit, balance, newBalance, amount;
  8.    char ans;
  9.    string choice;
  10.  
  11.    balance = 1000;
  12.  
  13.    cout << "Welcome to Whatever ATM!" << endl;
  14.  
  15.    do
  16.    {
  17.        cout << "\nWhat would you like to do from the following?\n"
  18.         << "\nWithdraw from account\n"
  19.         << "Deposit money into account\n"
  20.         << "Balance inquiry\n"
  21.         << "Quit\n"
  22.         << "\nPlease select now" << endl;
  23.  
  24.        cin >> choice;
  25.        ans = choice[0];
  26.        newBalance = balance;
  27.  
  28.        if ((ans == 'w') || (ans == 'W'))
  29.        {

I believe so.

Well for some reason it doesn't, it just breaks the loop and I don't understand why.

Sorry, my mistake. No, the continue sends you to the bottom of the loop.

Hmm, thats weird, my book tells me that it jumps back to the beginning of the loop. Well, if that doesn't work, how do I go about making the statement in my else to return to the top?

First figure out why the loop exits. Then before the continue, defeat the exit condition.

I slept on it and still cant figure it out. Should I have another loop before my if statement? If I do, I don't know what the condition would be. Also for one of the if statements (which i accidentally posted as,
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. else if ((ans == 'y') || (ans == 'Y'))
I would want it to quit the program, not just break the loop.

Look at the do-while. What causes the loop to exit?
Then look at the if with the continue. Is there a correlation?

Okay, I changed it, adding another
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. do-while
loop, but now the continue only goes through once. If the user enters an invalid answer, it does what I want it to, but when i enter another invalid answer, it breaks the loop. Is it something wrong with my condition?


C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <string>
  3. using namespace std;
  4.  
  5. int main()
  6. { 
  7.    double withdraw, deposit, balance, newBalance, amount;
  8.    char ans;
  9.    string choice;

  11.    balance = 1000;
