loop problem

[metulburr]

ok, creekist code works, ends loop if a,b,c,d is entered and repeats if anything else is entered

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(){
	string answer;


//question 1
	cout << "question 1" << endl << endl;
	cout << "Do you:" << endl;
	cout << "A) answer1" << endl;
    cout << "B) answer2" << endl;
    cout << "C) answer3" << endl;
    cout << "D) answer4" <<endl <<endl;

	while (true){
		if (cin >> answer){

	if (answer == "a")
	{cout << "You go to pick up your pack of cigerettes, but they are no longer there." <<endl <<endl;
	break;}
	else if (answer == "b")
	{cout << "You pick up the phone, but there is no dial tone."<<endl <<endl;
	break;}
	else if (answer == "c")
	{cout << "You don't see a dead body anywhere."<<endl <<endl;
	break;}
	else if (answer == "d")
	{cout << "You throw your bloody clothes in the garbage."<<endl <<endl;
	break;}
	else
	{cout << "That is not a correct answer, please try again."<<endl <<endl;}}}
    

    //question2
    cout << "question 2";

	return 0;
}

but i don't understand , would'nt this say continue loop as long as 'answer' is true, but answer is what the user inputs?

while (true){
		if (cin >> answer){

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

short question(short);

short question(short a){
     string answer;
     for(;;)
    {

//question 1
	cout << "question "<< a << endl << endl;
	cout << "Do you:" << endl;
	cout << "A) answer1" << endl;
    cout << "B) answer2" << endl;
    cout << "C) answer3" << endl;
    cout << "D) answer4" <<endl <<endl;
	cin >> answer;

	if (answer == "a"|| answer == "A"){//||=Mentally Or
		cout << "You go to pick up your pack of cigerettes, but they are no longer there." <<endl <<endl;
	    a++;
        }
    else if (answer == "b"|| answer == "B"){
		cout << "You pick up the phone, but there is no dial tone."<<endl <<endl;
	    a++;
        }
    else if (answer == "c"|| answer == "C"){
		cout << "You don't see a dead body anywhere."<<endl <<endl;
	    a++;
        }
    else if (answer == "d"||answer == "D"){
		cout << "You throw your bloody clothes in the garbage."<<endl <<endl ;
	    a++;
        }
    else
		cout << "That is not a correct answer, please try again."<<endl <<endl;
        if(answer == "a","b","c","d")
		{
		    break;
		}
    }

    //next question
	return question(a);
}     

int main(){
	short a=1;
    
    question(a);
}

I wrote this for u it's doing what u wanna do better i guess
it is using an 'a' as short it will help u to pass next question and i add || it told compiler mentally or(and one more unnecessery information && mentally and)
