About Cin & Memory

Question

I'm starting a game project, it is text based a sort of "choose your own adventure"
how can I ask multiple times "cin" and to allocate in the memory the answer
For example if the games ask yes or no, if I input yes I want how can I continue the story?
I thought to do this with numbers, 1=yes 2=no and if I need to ask the player to give an answer later it would be 3=yes 4=no but I need I'm still needing a rule for the player to no input 3 and get spoiled and break the game.
What do you think? Any advice?
