Repeat a question until user answers correctly

[joshsmith01]

I am writing a program that generates random numbers for elementary student to practice their multiplication. If they answer incorrectly I want to them to try again.
My code informs them that they are incorrect but it moves on to the next question. I am not sure what to write from here. Nested if statements, loops, ?

This is a class assignment and I am not looking for someone to do my work I just need a little push.

Thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

//#include "GradeBook.h"


int counter;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    
        for(int counter = 1; counter<=3; counter++)
        {
    srand( (unsigned)time(0) );
    double x = rand()  % 9 +1;//randomly generated number between 1 and 10
    double y = rand() % 9 +1;//randomly generated number between 1 and 10

    double product = x * y;//the correct answer
    int answer;//student's answer input
    
       
    cout << "What is " << x << " times " << y << endl;

    
    cin >> setprecision(3) >> answer;
        
if (answer == product)
    cout << "Very Good!\n\n";
            
else
    cout <<"No. Please try again.\n\n";
        }
}

There is only one question I see here???

Make a while loop that keeps asking for the answer

@ccsdude

Your hint worked. I enventually got it to work. At first I kept on getting an infinite loop until I realized I had to assign a new value to answer

This is what I came up with:

int counter;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    
        for(int counter = 1; counter<=3; counter++)
        {
            srand( (unsigned)time(0) );
            double x = rand()  % 9 +1;//randomly generated number between 1 and 10
            double y = rand() % 9 +1;//randomly generated number between 1 and 10

            double product = x * y;//the correct answer
            int answer;//student's answer input
    
       
            cout << "What is " << x << " times " << y << endl;

    
            cin >> answer;
        
                if (answer == product)
                    cout << "Very Good!\n\n";
           
               else
                        
                    cout <<"No. Please try again.\n\n" << endl;
                            while (answer!= product) {
                                cout << "What is " << x << " times " << y << endl;
                                cin >> answer;
            }
                
            
                             
        }

}
