okay i had homework to make a choose your own adventure story but whenever i enter y to tryAgain it just says "press any key to continue. . ." here's my code:

 

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{//*
    int 

etc...

    int yes_no;
    bool loop = true;
    char tryAgain;
    
    while (loop == true){
    
    cout << "Welcome to choose your own adventure!" << endl << endl;
    
    cout << "What would you like to be?  Type 1 for Goblin, 2 for elf, or 3 for fairy" << endl;
    cin >> firstInput;
    if(firstInput == 1){//**
                cout << "You are a Goblin." << endl << endl << "You are on a qu";

    }//*
}

i need to know why it doesn't loop when i say yes to tryAgain...

please help. thanks.

Look at just the relevant code.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    bool loop = true;
    while (loop == true){ //open while bracket
    //Stuff
    cin >> tryAgain;
    if(tryAgain == 'y'){
                loop = true;
    }
    else if(tryAgain == 'n'){
         loop = false;
    }
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    

    }//closed while bracket
}

In what scenario would line 15 not execute?

[tiberiushodgerius]

would it execute even when it is false? i think i understand... okay so i should just move the End While } up to before the

 system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS; 

?

ah it works, thank you
