# include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a, b, c, repeat;
    
    do
    {
      .... //some if and else statement
      
      cout<< "Do you want to compare another? (yes=1,no=0) "; cin>> repeat;

      
      if(repeat!=1 || repeat!=0)
      {
       cout<< "Bad input. Do you want to compare another? (yes=1,no=0) "; cin>> repeat;
       
       while(repeat!=1 || repeat!=0)
       {
         cout<< "Bad input. Do you want to compare another? (yes=1,no=0) "; cin>> repeat;
         cin.get();
       }
      }
      else{}
    }
    
    while (repeat==1);
    
    cin.get();
    cin.get();
    
    return 0;
}

|| returns true if at least one of the sides are true. This means that the only way to get false is if both sides are false.
If repeat!=1 is false then repeat!=0 must be true and vice versa so there is no way the loop condition can be false.
