continue statement not within loop?

[Cloud Architect]

I've been learning C++ for about 2 weeks so I'm pretty new to it. I've started on switch statements in a chapter of a book about looping. Apparently the continue statement in this small program I made isn't in the loop (even though it obviously is). What's going on with it? :(... Also unless I put a semicolon by <when (finished = false)> the loop doesn't even excecute... What have I done wrong?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int choice, end;
    bool finished;
    finished = false;


    while (finished = false)
    {
        cout << "Enter a number between 1 to 5" << "\n";
        cin >> choice;

        switch(choice)
        {
            case 0:
                cout << "Too small mate";
                break;
            case 5:
                cout << "ARRRR!!! ";
                break;
            case 4:
                cout << "OOOAAARRR!!! ";
                break;
            case 3:
                cout << "I could really do with a sandwich ";
                break;
            case 2:
                cout << "Yum... ";
                break;
            case 1:
                cout << "This is the best number because I said so. ";
                break;
            default:
                cout << "Number way too high mate";
                break;
        }
        cout << "\n";
        cout << "Make another awesome sentence appear? 1 for Yes, 0 for no." << "\n";
        cin >> end;

        switch(end)
        {
            case 1:
            //
            case 0:
                finished = true;
                break;
            default:
                cout << "inputted wrongly... Ending program regardless of what you want.";
                break;
        }
        if (finished = false)
        {
            continue;
        }

        cout << "done";
    }
    return 0;
}

[Return 0]

while (finished = false)

Should be:

while ( finished == false )

Your using the assignment operator instead of equal to.

Same issue here:
if (finished = false)

Also, you need a break statement in case 1 or it will move on and execute:

finished = true;
break;

Ending the loop.

[kempofighter]

You are assigning the value of false to the variable finished. Therefore the loop can never execute. In this case the result of the assignment is false.
while (finished = false)

Try this.
while (!finished)

or
while (false == finished)

I recommend that you develop the habit of writing your conditional checks like above. If not a boolean put the constant on the left side of the '==' so that the compile will catch accidental uses of '='. For instance the following code will not compile.
while(false = finished)

[kempofighter]

if (finished = false)
        {
            continue;
        }

That block of code is totally unnecessary. Delete it and move line 61 outside of the while loop.

With all the information on here I've fixed it and commented where I went wrong :), thanks a bunch guys.

And finally, @ return 0 -- Does "=" mean assign and "==" mean equal to?

It's so easy to miss things in this language... VB really is lenient XD

Thanks again anyway guys :D

[Return 0]

And finally, @ return 0 -- Does "=" mean assign and "==" mean equal to?

Correct.
