Nested loop in War game

Flakjacketx (9)
I'm trying to get the game to loop and play again, while also having a loop inside that one to validate the users input when it asks them if they want to play again. I'm most likely doing this wrong lol, but my professor is very little help and I only got a "figure it out" response from her.

the code compiles and runs, but when it prompts the user if they want to play again, the program quits no matter what is entered.

    if (keepPlaying != 'y' || keepPlaying != 'Y' || keepPlaying != 'n' || keepPlaying != 'N') break;
    }
      if (keepPlaying != 'n' || keepPlaying != 'N') break;
  }

}
expor (12)
if (keepPlaying != 'y' || keepPlaying != 'Y' || keepPlaying != 'n' || keepPlaying != 'N') break;

So no matter what the user enters, 'Y/y' or 'N/n', it will always break. I think you can see what's wrong yourself now.
