I need the loop to continue after "Wrong Expression!" and "Error. Insufficient operators for operands." allowing them to keep entering expressions until they are ready to quit

return 0 in main exits the program.

I think what you want is something like this:

bool messedup = false;
while(true)
{
    messedup=false; //its a new loop, fresh start, all is good.
   ... 
    cout <"Wrong Expression" 
    messedup = true;
   ...
  if(!messedup)
     {
       process / do things
    } //else do nothing
  
}


or in short, replace return zero with the setting of a flag and
use that flag to prevent doing anything wrong due to attempted processing of bad input,
then reset and go again from the top.

so all of my code should be in the if statement?
SamuelAdams (1535)
That is not what he said, When you return 0, the program ends.
If that is the desired result then great, if it's not then you have to find another way.
Right now after wrong expression, your program stops.

I know all that, the point of the post is to help me find the other way and the other way he has suggested includes an if statement so I am asking him a question.
