Question

I am having trouble getting my while loop to run. I am a very beginner coder and I have made many attempts with no success to make this work. I need help PLEASE!! Please be very specific and with laymen terms with your help since I am new to this.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string mystr1;
string mystr2;
cout << "Please provide your first and last name" << endl;
getline (cin, mystr1);
cout << endl;
cout << "Please provide your shipping address" << endl;
getline (cin, mystr2);
cout << endl;
cout << "Hello " << mystr1 << " and welcome to Faulk Couture
Handbags Boutique" << endl; // prints Hello and welcome to Faulk
Couture Handbags Boutique
cout << endl;
cout << "We have a variety of specialty and fashionable handbags to
select from. Please see below for the available products and their
descriptions." << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Product 1: Crosby Carryall in black priced at $395. This
sophisticated and spacious Crosby Carryall is a work-to-weekend favorite
and is finished with " << endl;
cout << "bound leather edges, a detachable leather strap and petite
brass turnlocks securing its two zippered compartments."<< endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Product 2: Prairie satchel with chain nude priced at $450.
Crafted in lightweight pebble leather with a bit of sheen, this
gracefully curved shape distills" <<endl;
cout << "the satchel to its purest form. The simple design is finished
with a slender strap and an elegant chain detail that detaches for a
different look." << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Product 3: Faulk Swagger 20 brown priced at $325. This
Statement belting with double-turnlock hardware is one of our most
popular designs with a little bit of “swagger.” "<< endl;

this very modern carryall in refined pebble leather comes finished with
a detachable strap for crossbody wear." << endl;

cout << "Product 4: Zip top tote in brown priced at $285. This
sophisticated and light weight in signature canvas with hand-finished
leather trim, this aptly named tote is made for one-the-go ease." <<
endl;
cout << "A modern, flared shape and oversized strap anchors add playful
proportions to its spacious, brightly lined design." << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Product 5: Wristlet 24 priced at $175. This striking, feminine
design in polished pebble leather has space enough for a tablet and an
elegant chain that converts it from wristlet to top handle." << endl;

double cost, total, amount;
int product;

int choice=1;
while (choice==1);
{
cout << "To purchase another bag, please enter 1 (anything else to
quit)" << endl;
cin >> choice;
cout << "Please enter the product number for your next bag choice" <<
endl;
cin >> product;
cout << "The respective price for this bag is: " << endl;
cin >> cost;
cout << "Please enter the quantity you would like to purchase for this

cin >> amount;
total = cost*amount;
cout <<"Your total purchase price for " <<amount<< " qty of product
number " <<product<< " is " <<total<<"."<< endl;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

You're ending your while loop with a semicolon that's why it isn't entering the while loop
Here is the while loop without the semicolon
while (choice==1) {
cout << "To purchase another bag, please enter 1 (anything else to
quit)" << endl;
cin >> choice;
cout << "Please enter the product number for your next bag choice" <<
endl;
cin >> product;
cout << "The respective price for this bag is: " << endl;
cin >> cost;
cout << "Please enter the quantity you would like to purchase for this
bag choice" << endl;
cin >> amount;
total = cost*amount;
cout <<"Your total purchase price for " <<amount<< " qty of product
number " <<product<< " is " <<total<<"."<< endl;
}
