it shuts itself down after the first question

Try using == instead of =, in the if's.

= is the assignment operator
== is the comparison operator

thanks guys
but didn't work

[Disch]

int answer;  // <- answer is declared as an integer
//...
if (answer = 'yes');  // <- 'yes' is not an integer.  It's not even really a string 

_{technically 'yes' is an integer, which is why the compiler didn't give you an error, but it doesn't mean what you think it does.}

If you want to compare it to strings, it needs to be a string.
Also, do not put semicolons after if statements.

What's probably happening is that cin is getting into a bad state because of the type mismatching.

You probably wanted to do this:

string answer;  // <- you want strings

// ...

if(answer == "yes") // <- note:  double quotes, not single.  And no semicolon 

Make similar changes for everywhere answer is used.

was half asleep last night when I did this thanks

Define please.

Also lets look at your code..
1) you are using goto I am assuming based on line 9.
2) 32 you ask if they are male but you are inputting to an int how is yes/no a number? Either input 1/0 for yes/no or change it to a string on line 21. If you change it to a string then you will not have to change line 34 or 40 too much.
3) Line 34 and 40 are strings not characters so you would put " around it and not '.
4) line 36 male is a boolean and you are trying to assign a string value to it.. If you really want to assign a number to make it true/false you would use 1 for true and 0 for false since booleans are really numbers. It would be best though if you just did male = true; or male = false; since booleans mainly take in true/false.
5) Line 54 you are using an int and trying to input a char. You may want to change the letters to numbers or have a second input variable that will take in the characters which I would recommend so you don't have to change line 56.
6) Some small fixes I would do is change line 17 to false not 0. line 37 , 43 , and 60 you can change to ++varaible; or varaible += 1; instead of variable = variable + 1;

The reason it crashes is because when you put a string where a number is supposed to be in the input buffer it will put the other chracters into the next inputs which will then crash it since you are not clearing/ignoring the failed inputs.

*edit also don't put semicolons after if statements.
**edit 2 looks like disch beat me to that.
***edit 3 also please don't pm me saying "Still won't work." If you're going to pm at least ask a question don't just tell me that my answer to earlier didn't work when in all reality it did work its just your code is a complete mess.
