while loop?

[Retraction]

Okay, yet another question. This time, it has to do with while loops. Let me paste the code first.

  #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string userselection = "no";

	while (userselection == "yes")
	{
		cout << "Enter two numbers: " << endl;
		int num1 = 0;
		int num2 = 0;
		cin >> num1;
		cin >> num2;

		cout << num1 << " X " << num2 << " = " << num1 * num2 << endl;

		cout << "Press 'yes' to redo operation, any other to exit! " << endl;
		cin >> userselection;
	}

	cout << "Goodybe" << endl;
	return 0;
}

When I execute this, it doesn't even execute the codes inside the second braces. When I add a semicolon after the while statement, the braces execute, however the loop won't happen. Help me out here?

Why do you think it would execute?

[Retraction]

The semicolon ends the while expression, therefore moving on to the next set of code.

userselection is assign "no"

--> Is userselction "yes"?
False, do not execute loop

--> "Goodybe" (Typo)

Maybe you are looking for a do-while loop. Or to initialize userselection with "yes" instead.
