You must use consistent indentation and whitespace if you ever hope to be able to read and examine all the nested scopes here. I took your code and indented it, which now clearly shows that your NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST choices aren't chained together like you think they are. Look closely at the comments on lines 49-50:

What do you mean by end if I == Yes? Do I need to get ri of that brackett?

@Djpopich

Assign the variable, restart, as char restart = '0'; at the start. Then use while (restart == '0'); at the end. Right now, you're checking for an int. with restart, but need a char, instead. Or, you can change the declaration of restart TO an int, and leave the while check, as is.

I changed my previous post to clairfy those comments.

Thank You I really appreciate your help but would there be a way to make it to where you can add a string instead of a number? Like YES or NO words instead of 0 and 1?

@booradley60

I saw what you meant and went back and fixed it so that the brackets are how they are supposed to be... Thx for noticing that error in my code.

Never mind I found that instead of Char i can just use string r; and for the while statement just change it to while (r == "YES");.... Thank you all for your help!
