Introducing the Play Again

Program

The Play Again program simulates the play of an exciting game. (Okay, by “simulates the play of an exciting game,” I mean the program displays the message “**Played an exciting game**”.) Then the program asks the user if he wants to play again. The user continues to play as long as he enters y. The program accomplishes this repetition using a while loop. Figure 2.6 shows the program in action.

You can download the code for this program from the Course Technology website (www.courseptr.com/downloads). The program is in the Chapter 2 folder; the filename is play_again.cpp.

The repetition is accomplished using a while loop.

// Play Again

// Demonstrates while loops


#include <iostream> using namespace std;


int main()

{

char again = ’y’; while (again == ’y’)

{

cout << "\n**Played an exciting game**";

cout << "\nDo you want to play again? (y/n): "; cin >> again;

}


cout << "\nOkay, bye.";


return 0;
