Im sorry to bug you all, but for some reason the following code just gets me stuck in an endless while loop, i've tried both with | and || and using char and string.

code:


char taxifcin>>taxif;
 while (taxif != 'y' || 'n')
    {
     cout<<"Please enter a valid command"<<endl;
     cin>>taxif;
    }

'n' is always greater than 0.

while (taxif != 'y' || 'n')

-should be-

while (taxif != 'y' || taxif != 'n')

"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

!= has precedence over ||. 'n' is always true. Loop lasts for ever.
