Working with loops...

[bananae]

I'm teaching myself C++ with a book I got and I'm working with loops with multiple branches. My code is an endless loop however. Please help.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int answer1; //generic variable for general purpose choices
char answer2[1]; //variable for exiting the loop

int main()
{
	 cout << "INTRO" << endl;
	 do {
		 cout << "CHOICES 1,2,3" << endl;
		 cin >> answer1;
		 if(answer1 == 1)
		 {
             cout << "Answer for choice 1 y/n Continue" << endl;
			 cin >> answer2;
         }
		 if (answer1 == 2)
		 {
			 cout << "Answer for choice 2 y/n Continue" << endl;
		     cin >> answer2;
         }
		 if (answer1 == 3)
		 {
			 cout << "Answer for choice 3 y/n Continue" << endl;
			 cin >> answer2;
         }
		else
		{
			cout << "Please input a valid answer" << endl;
        }
   }
	while (answer2!= "y");
	cout << "Loop has been exited. Terminating program." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

I'm not too sure about how the char checking would go but I really would like to use y/n instead of numbers.

If you want single chars, go ahead and just cin a char, just know that the excess data they put in will be kept in the buffer...to check chars, just check like it's a string except use 'C' where C is one character.
