char getyorn function
need help...i have to write a function char getyorn - this function asks the user for a 'y' or an 'n' (also uppercase) and rejects any other input with an error message and another request for input. It should return only a lowercase y or a lowercase n. any ideas? please let me know if you need more info..thanks for any help.
cout << "One Armed Bandit!!" << endl;
cout << "What is your name? ";
getline (cin, name);
cout << endl << endl;
cout << "You start off with 200 dollars " << endl;
cout << "Want to play the One Armed Bandit? ";
cin >> //user must enter y or n here and my trouble is with the function that returns a char.
i dont understand that it should only return a lowercase y or n. what if the user types uppercase Y or N?

http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/input-output.html#faq-15.4 should be helpful for what you are trying to do, as a matter of fact at some point read through all of http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/.
and it looks like you want to use while and if statements.
