    Please read the Announcement topic at the top of each sub-forum to learn how to post your code in code/highlight tags.

    I assume answer = 0 the first time the loop executes. Then what happens the next time the loop condition is evaluated if the user chooses 3?

    I asked the question poorly or you misunderstood. I'll try again.

    answer = 3
    while (answer<1||answer>5)

    Does the while loop execute?

    Oh crap! (Forgive my French.) Another thing you should do is remove the semi-colon from the end of the while loop statement.

    I don't know how to point you to the problem any more specifically:

    CHECK THE LOGIC OF THE WHILE CONDITION FOR answer = 1 - 4! (Yes, I'm shouting.)
