I am sorry but i have forgotten how to loop back, i will have to look it up if someone doesn't beat me too it, to stop the window closing use system("PAUSE"); make sure it is within you main section though, e.g:

Quote:

//that stuff (iostream and whatnot) don't know off the top of my head atm.

int main(){
int a,b;
string name;
cout
<< "Hello, What's your name? \n";
getline(cin,name);
cout
<< "Please enter a value" << name << ".\n";
getline(cin,a);
cout
<< "Please enter another value.";
getline(cin,b);
if(a == b){
cout
<< "a = b";
return 0;
} else {
cout
<< "Try again";
//Now it would go back to the second cout?
}

system("PAUSE");
}

On a different subject, is there a way to prevent the command prompt from closing? EG make it close when you press Enter?

Windows automatically closes a command prompt window when a program has finished running. As far as I know, there's no way to stop windows from doing that, so you need to find some way to stop your program from finishing, until you want it to.

If you use MS Visual Studio as your IDE, then use [CTRL]+[F5] to compile/run your programs. VS will add a "pause" after your program finishes.

if you're not using MSVC, then have a look at this link
