Hi. I'm trying to write a part of a program that will allow the user to enter an answer (yes, or no) in response to a question (do you want to play again). I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. so far I hav:

if () char *choice == "Yes") {
goto 16();}

anyone have any tips? thanx

Do not use goto statements, that will produce "Spaghetti code" tongue.gif


A better way to do this would be:

CODE

cin >> response;
if(response == "Yes")
  PlayAgain();
else
  EndGame();


and then create 2 methods
CODE

void PlayAgain()
{
   SaveScore();
   Reset();
}
void EndGame()
{
  SaveScore();
  Exit();
}

You can also use do while,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if me is you, I will use integer. Easier. If char more tedious. You don't know what the user will input whether is "YES" , "yES", "yeS","yes"........
THink about it!

while ( response == 1 && response ==2)
{
PlayAgain();

cout << "Do you wana play again\n";
cout<<"Select:\n"
<<"1 - Yes\n"
<<"2 - No\n";
int response;
cin >> response;

}

cout <<"Thanks 4 playing"; tongue.gif
