Answer 1

It didn't run as an infinite loop when I did it. What compiler are you using?
If it's the Sololearn compiler, you can't do real-time input. Each input needs a new line, I wrote:
encrypt
6
Here's my message
-1

And the program printed out the questions for input and then my message as a series of numbers. Is that correct?

Answer 2

I was using visual studio code,to me it kept on running as an infinity loop, which one you were using?Yes that's how it's supposed to work when you enter encrypt and type the base you want to convert your message to a decimal and vice versa.

Answer 3

I used the Sololearn compiler with your code and as I said, I entered the information as above, on new lines.

The infinite loop occurs if you don't enter -1, correct? That's the point, right?

Answer 4

Yes that's correct.

Answer 5

And so, when you enter the -1, or anything less than 0, it should stop the program.
