if/else with "or" operator

[JoJodoggy1]

In my code below, I want to be able to enter invalid ages for the first "if" over and over again and still get a prompt to enter an age, but so far if I enter an invalid age more than once, I get a "press any key to continue".

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
	int age;
	cout << "Enter your age" << endl;
	cin >> age;

	if ((age <= 0) || (age > 110))
	
		cout << "Please re-enter age. Your age cannot be less than or equal to zero or above 110. Those ages are invalid" << endl;
		cin >> age;//re-entry of age if prompted

	else if (age < 21)
	
		cout << "You cannot go drink at the bar." << endl;
	

	else if (age > 80)
	
		cout << "You are too old to drink at the bar" << endl;
	
	else
	
		cout << "You are an age at which you can drink at the bar" << endl;//anyone eligible (ages 21 to 80)
	
	return 0;
	}

You need to put your if and else statements inside brackets if they are more than one line.

(You can be too old to drink at the bar?)

Thanks! I applied the brackets but I'm still getting the same issue...it's probably to do with the placement of the brackets right now.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
	int age;

	cout << "Enter your age" << endl;

cin >> age;

	if ((age <= 0) || (age > 110))
{

	cout << "Please re-enter age. Your age cannot be less than or equal to zero OR above 110. Those ages are invalid" << endl;

	cin >> age;//re-entry of age if prompted

}

	else if (age < 21)

{

	cout << "You cannot go drink at the bar." << endl;

}

	else if (age > 80)

{
	cout << "You are too old to drink at the bar" << endl;

}

	else

{
	cout << "You are an age at which you can drink at the bar" << endl;//anyone eligible (ages 21 to 80)

}

	return 0;
}

Change the first if to a while, and the else..if after it to just an if.

For your code, if you enter an "invalid" age first, it will go into the first if-statement. This makes it execute that block, and none of the other "else [if]" blocks. It will skip through all the other else if/else statements and end the program.

Edit: If you only want the user to be able to re-enter a valid age once, change line 22 to just if instead of else if. Otherwise, do what Yay295 said and make it a while loop that will only stop once age > 0 && age < 110

Thank you! Figured it out.
