If/ Else Statement Not Working

Josh Brown (10)
I know i'm a noob to C++ programming, and i may be completely missing what i'm doing, but i have researched and cannot find solution to this. When you type in 'Yes' on line 81, it does not even recognize the actions in the first loop; It just ends the program. Please help!

choice is defined as having type char. It can contain only one character. So there is no any sense to compare choice with a character literal

if(Choice == 'Yes')

They are unequal.

first of all... too much white space. secondly line 3 isnt needed. line 18 shouldnt have a (void). finally (well not finally but most importantly as it addresses your question) look up std:: string. use that instead of char

I just fixed a little things in there and made your if/else statement work. You had Char which accepts value of just one Character. Code isn't perfect or clean, but I just made it so it would work.
