Loop the whole program

[seghrein2300]

I want to loop the entire program with a "Do you wish to loop through the code again? [Y/N]" type of code. I don't know how to do the sequence I keep getting two loops before it pops out. So I've put a fresh code with no looping the whole program code.

  #include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    double number = 0, sum = 0, loop = 0, total = 0;
    float average = 0;
    double counter = 1;
    int minimum = INT_MAX, maximum = INT_MIN;
    int minimumIndex = 0, maximumIndex = 0;
    cout<<"Enter # of times to loop: ";
    cin>>loop;
    total = loop;
    while (loop > 0){
    cout<<"Enter #"<< counter<<": ";
    cin>>number;
    if (number<minimum){
    minimum=number;
    minimumIndex = counter;
                        }
    if(number > maximum){
    maximum = number;
    maximumIndex= counter;
                        }
    sum = sum + number;
    counter++;
    loop--;
    }
    average=sum/total;
    cout<<"Highest #: "<<maximum<<endl;
    cout<<"Lowest #: "<<minimum<<endl;
    cout<<"Average #: "<< average<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Testing will show this works but replying other than y or n needs more thinking.

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    double number = 0, sum = 0;
    float average = 0;
    double counter = 0;
    int minimum = INT_MAX, maximum = INT_MIN;
    int minimumIndex = 0, maximumIndex = 0;
    
    char reply{'?'};
    while(cout << "Continue <y/n>? " && cin >> reply && tolower(reply) == 'y')
    {
        cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // GETS RID OF EXCESS INPUT
        
        cout<<"Enter #"<< counter + 1 <<": ";
        cin >> number;
        
        if (number<minimum)
        {
            minimum=number;
            minimumIndex = counter;
        }
        
        if(number > maximum)
        {
            maximum = number;
            maximumIndex= counter;
        }
        sum += number;
        counter++;
        average = sum/counter;
    }
    
    cout << "Highest #: " << maximum << endl;
    cout << "Lowest #: " << minimum << endl;
    cout << "Average #: " << average << endl << endl;
    
    
    return 0;
}

BTW you need to properly indent your coding and make good use of whitespace.
