yo how's it going guys, I'm working on a little project of my own, going to be a pretty sweet piece of code when I'm done... what I want to know for now is, for my pinCode entry, how do I mask the number input and replace with asterisks? While keeping the functionality of == 5555 and !=5555?

here's my code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void startMenu();
void newAccountMenu();
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{  
   int pinCode;
   int count = 2;
   
   cout << "Please enter your PIN code: ";
   cin >> pinCode; 
   
   do
   {
      if ( pinCode != 5555 && count > 0 )
      {
         system("cls");
         cout << "PIN incorrect, you have " << count << " more tries left: ";
         cin >> pinCode;
         count--;
      }
      
      if ( count == 0 )
      {
         system("cls");
         cout << "Sorry, you've got your PIN wrong too many times!" << endl
              << "Please see someone inside the bank.";
            break;
      }
   } while ( pinCode != 5555 );
   
   if ( pinCode == 5555 )
   {
      system("cls");
      cout << "Correct pin, fowarding you to bank menu, click to continue.";
         getch();
         
      system("cls");
      startMenu();
   }    
   
   getch();
   return 0;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void startMenu()
{
   int choice;
   
   cout << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t|Welcome to Bank Syms, please enter your selection:|" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t| 1.   Register - New Customer                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 2.   Withdraw                                    |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 3.   Deposit                                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 4.   Balance                                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 5.   Exit                                        |" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t Selection: ";
        
   choice = getch();        
   while ( choice != 53 )
   { 
      switch ( choice )
      {
         case '1' :
            system("cls");
            newAccountMenu();
            getch();
            break;
      }
      
   }
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void newAccountMenu()
{  
   cout << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t|    Hello and welcome to the new account menu:    |" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t| 1.   Register checking account                   |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 2.   Register savings account                    |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 3.   Register checking and savings account       |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 4.   Return to top menu                          |" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t  Selection: ";   
}  
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yo how's it going guys

Great. What about yourself?

I changed your code so that it has a new function: authentication().

#include <cstdlib>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

bool authentication();
void startMenu();
void newAccountMenu();
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   int pinCode;
   int count = 2;

   cout << "Please enter your PIN code: ";
   bool auth = authentication();

   do
   {
      if ( !auth && count > 0 )
      {
         system("cls");
         cout << "PIN incorrect, you have " << count << " more tries left: ";
         auth = authentication();
         count--;
      }

      if ( count == 0 )
      {
         system("cls");
         cout << "Sorry, you've got your PIN wrong too many times!" << endl
              << "Please see someone inside the bank.";
            break;
      }
   } while ( !auth );

   if ( auth )
   {
      system("cls");
      cout << "Correct PIN, fowarding you to bank menu, click to continue.";
         getch();

      system("cls");
      startMenu();
   }

   getch();
   return 0;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void startMenu()
{
   int choice;

   cout << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t|Welcome to Bank Syms, please enter your selection:|" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t| 1.   Register - New Customer                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 2.   Withdraw                                    |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 3.   Deposit                                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 4.   Balance                                     |" << endl
        << "\t\t| 5.   Exit                                        |" << endl
        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t Selection: ";

   choice = getch();
   while ( choice != 53 )
   {
      switch ( choice )
      {
         case '1' :
            system("cls");
            newAccountMenu();
            getch();
            break;
      }

   }
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void newAccountMenu()

        << "\t\t|--------------------------------------------------|" << endl
        << "\t\t  Selection: ";
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool authentication()
{
    bool authenticate[5] = {false, false, false, false, true};
    int iii = 0;
    for(; ; iii++)
    {
        char ch = getch();
        if(ch == 13) break; // If the user pressed \"Enter\" (13 in ASCII), break
        cout << "*";
        // If the 1st to 4th _getch is 5, assign element iii of authenticate with true
        if     (ch == '5' && iii <= 3) authenticate[iii] = true;
        else if(iii == 4)              authenticate[4] = false;
    }
    if(authenticate[0] &&
       authenticate[1] &&
       authenticate[2] &&
       authenticate[3] &&
       authenticate[4])     { return true; }
    else return false;
}

Hope this helps . . .

   bool auth = authentication();
   
   do
   {

         cout << "PIN incorrect, you have " << count << " more tries left: ";
         auth = authentication();
         count--;
      }
      
      if ( count == 0 )
      {

Just wondering how I can take the balance values from void newAccountMenu() and use them for the rest of the program. Say withdrawMenu(), if it could come up with the account holder name, account number and balances etc?
