Change the problem line to this:





cin %26gt;%26gt; play_again;
Reply:Iam studing 11-12th now.


so iam studying now about c++.


i wiil ans later.


sorry
Reply:would be better if you tell us the compile error you're receiving.
Reply:The previous answer was correct in the fix for your cin syntax, but this isn't going to do what you want. The newline won't be stored in play_again. Test your code, and you'll see how it works, or doesn't.





Something like this will do the job for you:





string s;


while (s.length() == 0) {


// ...


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Press return to continue, or x to exit ... ";


getline(cin,s);


}
