FINAL PROJECT NEED HELP

Question

Hello guys, I have two issues, for one, I have been trying to fix my program so that if a wrong symbol is placed in by the user it would end the program entirely but only place in both "cout << "SORRY, PLEASE ONLY ENTER A SYMBOL LISTED ABOVE!";" and the while loop, because when, for example I put a exclamation mark instead of the symbols listed above it will still input the random numbers with that symbol and then affterrrr it would input the cout I typed above ^^, and two, when I actually do enter the right symbol and the right answer it would end the loop, only when I place an incorrect answer would it let me re run the program? what am i doing wrong??? thank you in advanced!

using namespace std;

int main()

{
char programerChoice = 'y';
do
{
srand(time(NULL)); //v1.2
char sym_choice; //Symbol Choice
int one, two;
char A_WAIT; //Answer to match with already generated problem
cout << "\tHello, please Select A symbol to\n";
cout << "\tsolve a random math problem: \n";
cout << "\t(+,-,*,/)\n\n";
cout << "\tENTER YOUR CHOICE: ";
cin >> sym_choice;

// if (sym_choice == ('+'|| '-'|| '*'|| '/'))

int answer = 0;
bool CORRECT = false;
one = rand() % 500 + 1;
two = rand() % 500 + 1;
std::cout << "What is " << one << " " << sym_choice << " " << two << "? ";
cin >> A_WAIT;

switch (sym_choice)
{
case '+':
answer = one + two;
CORRECT = true;
break;

case '-':
answer = one - two;
CORRECT = true;
break;

case '*':
answer = one * two;
CORRECT = true;
break;

case '/':
answer = one / two;
CORRECT = true;
break;

default:
{
cout << "SORRY, PLEASE ONLY ENTER A SYMBOL LISTED ABOVE!";
return 1;
}
}

if (CORRECT == true)
{
cout << answer << "\n\nIf your Answer Matches then Nice job!" << endl;
}

Answer 1

Gabriel , Right now, you need something like this at the end of your code:

}while(some condition);}

Since you used a do, but a while is missing

you should use the playground and insert a link to your code, to make it easier to help you, next time:

Answer 2

Why did you stretch your code so much, or do you think the more lines the better?
As far as I understand, he did not even fit entirely in your question.
No end of do... while loop;
no end of main() function;
variables programerChoice and A_WAIT are not used.

And a separate question: "why do you need curly braces in default?"

And take the variables initialization out of the loop.

Answer 3

Hey you are not checking if user entered right answer or not.

You are checking only for right symbol,.
So fix this first....

You should check at last if(answer == A_WAIT)...
