The code is not whole, so I did not test if the algorytmus is OK - and the loop would be ended alone for some number of cycles. But you write here : "type 111 to END", so you have to check in code if the value 111 was entered:. after line cin>>guess; add next line if (guess==111) break; //breaks loop, but program continues next command or this if (guess==111) return; // it leaves the function main, so program is ended Btw not (type E to END), because int variable takes only number values.
