Help with a program?

tochiimochii (1)
So I am building a program for an engine component analyzer, am struggling with getting the correct expected output, along with making a menu selection at the end which asks the user if they would like to do the program again. The results should be either to a. do it again, or b. terminate the program, and then invalid for everything else.
I have a majority of the code done except those few small things. Can anyone help me?

I should mention, I've been looking around all over the internet and I'm just stummped now. The program runs and I have no errors, It just isn't doing what I want it to.

thank you!!

1) initialize all variable of type int , double, char....

2) anyway can you post your incorrected result and result corrected ? ( after you appliyng -> 1) )

add line 170 }

I tried to run your code, but does not work as it should:

1) as the first choice allows you to choose any character and / or number;

2) the same happens in "select heads";

3) the last choice, any choice you make between 'a' and 'b', the program finishes execution

Hope this will offer you some suggestion (it's not optimized):
