Would you like to try again? Press Y, Press N. (Repeating program function)

Hi,

Would anybody know a way to repeat a program, for example the user has reached the end and a prompt is shown on screen Would you like to try again? Press y, n. I have managed to do this using goto command but this as ive read is a no go zone unless really needed. I have also found bool to be of some use.

Also i have 3 if statements working to filter through a user value that has to be between 3 and 31 and odd.

cout << "Please enter an odd value between 3 and 31: " << endl;
cin >> rate;
myWaveForm.getSampleValue( rate );

cout << endl;

//upto here we have a value that the user has entered

if ( rate % 2 != 1 ){
else rate = rate; }

if ( rate <3 ){
if ( rate > 31 );}
else rate = rate;

Is there a way of simplifying this?

>>Would anybody know a way to repeat a program
use a loop

while( not done )
{
    // display menu
    // get input
    // if 'Q' entered then exit the loop
    // do something
}

Not sure what you are trying to do that that code you posted. But rate = rate; doesn't do anything, so you might as well just replace it with a simple semicolon.

Is that 'while' you put there a loop? i initally thought of a counter (being a beginer to this i only know counters as loops)
