laugh out load about the 'the beta' part.

but anyway im making this guessing game a very simple one. but i need some help i want the program to close if the user inputs a character, when a user inputs a character it keeps looping nonstop. but otherwise the game works perfect.

also can people tell me what i should improve to make the game not as confusing as the writing is a bit compact together.

heres the code try editing it making it better and ill put it in my game. and put credits at the end "LOL"; NOTE: char error[1] kind of failed i'm really lazy and don't want to remove it.

    #include <iostream>



// simple guess the number game.



using namespace std;





void Answer()

{

    cout << "WOW. You actually Got it right? Computer Malfuntion!\n\n \a\a\a\a";

}



int main()

{

    cout << "Guess the number BETA. \n\nDifficulty = to the max (Prototype At the moment.)\n\nNote: the number will keep adding up everytime you fail!\nAlso there is a extreme bug when user inputs a character. BEWARE\n" << endl;

    char error[1];

    int secretNumber;

    double userGuess;





    secretNumber = 34;





    loop:



    cout << "\n\nGuess the number:\n\n";



    cin >> userGuess;



        if (userGuess > secretNumber)

        {

            cout << "***************\n!!!TOO BIG!!!      Try again!\n***************";

            ++secretNumber;

            goto loop;

        }





        if(userGuess < secretNumber)

        {

            cout << "****************\n!!!TOO SMALL!!!   Try Again\n****************";

            ++secretNumber;

            goto loop;

        }





        else

        {

            Answer();

        }





        return 0;

}

i know that is could be layed out better but this is how i program and find it easy like this :p

    #include <iostream>

#include <windows.h>

#include <math.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <conio.h>



// simple guess the number game. 



using namespace std; 



void Answer() 

{ 

    cout << "WOW. You actually Got it right? Computer Malfuntion!\n\n \a\a\a\a";

    Sleep(1000);

    return;

}



//ignore this part, it just determines wether the input is a number or not!

bool stringToShort(string valThisStr,short& copyToMeIfYouCan)

{

    copyToMeIfYouCan = 0;

    for(char index=0;index<valThisStr.length();index++)

    {

        if(index!=0)

            copyToMeIfYouCan*=10;



        if(isdigit( (((int)valThisStr[index])-4 ))

        {

            copyToMeIfYouCan = 0;

            return false;

        }

        copyToMeIfYouCan += (short)valThisStr[index]-48;

    }

    return true;

}

You should not get any errors now.
