Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock program help

[adeclue]

Need to write a rock, paper, scizzors program with following retraints: Make sure to have one function displaying the menu (scissors, paper, or rock), reading the choice, validating it and rereading if needed, and then returning the valid choice as a number 1-3.
Make sure to have another function to which you send what the user selected and what computer generated, and the function will declare the winner printing the result.
Make sure to use srand()
Also for extra 10% you may put a loop for the program to keep working on multiple games until the user enters a quit choice on the menu (the same menu where the choice is entered).

I know theres prolly an easier way to write program using cases, but i was having issues with it, so rewrote it using if/ elseif statements and it runs. Just Im having issue with inserting a loop so that it will just run program over and over until user imputs quit.

Try a "do{}while()" loop..
It will always run the your code once.

example:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

	char done; //user inpute ..one letter
	do //do{}while(); will run loop atleast once 
	{
		cout << "\nEnter 'y' to exit: ";
		cin >> done; 

	} while (done != 'y'); //will exit when the statment is true. 
}

You mean false, don't you?

[tibrado]

Yep.

That worked perfectly, thank you very much. I had tried a do while loop before. But i must of had something wrong because once it ran It would just loop thru all the outputs over and over and over...
