How can I add a loop for this code

  #1
Dec 1st, 2008
The code is pretty easy to understand what I am doing. You basically pick a number 1-4 and it will do either addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. What I need it to do is after they do a problem it loops back and lets them do it again, until they enter 5 to end the program.

Thanks.

Here is my code

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <cstdlib>
  3. #include <iomanip>
  4. #include <ctime>
  5.  
  6. using namespace std;
  7.  
  8.  
  9. int main ()
  10.  
  11. {
  12. 	srand((unsigned)time(0)); 
  13. 	int add1, add2, sub1, sub2;
  14. 	int multiply1, multiply2, div1, div2;
  15. 	int choice, input;
  16. 	add1 = (rand()%500)+1;
  17. 	add2 = (rand()%500)+1; 
  18. 	sub1 = (rand()%500)+1;
  19. 	sub2 = (rand()%98)+1;
  20. 	multiply1 = (rand()%98)+1;
  21. 	multiply2 = (rand()%8)+1;
  22. 	div1 = (rand()%500)+1;
  23. 	div2 = (rand()%8)+1;
  24. 	int addAnswer = add1 + add2;
  25. 	int subAnswer = sub1- sub2;
  26. 	int multiplyAnswer = multiply1 * multiply2;
  27. 	int divAnswer = div1 / div2;
  28.  
  29.

  31. 	//Display the menu and get the user's choice
  32. 		cout << "         Geometry Calculator \n\n";

  39.  
  40. 		cout <<"Enter your choice (1-5): ";
  41. 		cin >> choice;
  42. 		cout << "\n";
  43.

  46. {

  1. //...
  2. char rep='n';
  3. //display the menu and get user's choice
  4. while(tolower(rep)=='n')

  7.     cout<<"repeat? [y/n] : ";

[code] while (choice!=5)
{
Your Programme Body

}[\code]

Remember to Intialize Choice With any Number without 5

Thanks for the help. Would I put that before the else if part of the code? Also the char rep='n'; needs to go at the top where I clarify everything. Also what would I do if I wanted it to either be a capital or lower case y or n?

Thanks.

I was doing a similair problem, and with some help from people on here found that using a do-while loop with a switch instead of four if statements worked best. Check out the last page for some pointers...
