Please help, I cant seem to get the do-while loop to loop when I ask the user to input continue using scanf and printf. Could it be the wipe_buffer? I can't seem to get it right on this and I just need to finish the loop and that should be mostly functional. New to coding and this website please not too harsh. please and thanks.

before the end of your do-while loop. I suspect you must change that&
inside the string by a%
. It's been a while since I did C.wipe_buffer
t is equal to\n
so the loop isn't even considered just put agetchar()
after eachscanf
and you'll be fine
