Do-while loop issue: Try to develop a simple game

Question

Well, I'm writing to make a dice game. I tried searching dice game here but none of it seems to answer my question. This isn't a problem about the dice roll thing anyway. It's about the do while loop. I am very new to this site, I just found out about this via Maximum PC Magazine so please bear with me. Also I am new to programming.

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;
int main(){

    srand(time(NULL));

    int userRoll = rand() % 6 + 1 ;
    int computerRoll = rand() % 6 + 1 ;
    string yesOrNoChoice;
    string commandToThrowDie;


    do{
        cout << "Please enter \"throw\" (lowercase) to roll the die: ";
        cin >> commandToThrowDie;
    } while(commandToThrowDie != "throw");

    do{
        cout << "You rolled: " << userRoll << endl
             << "The Computer rolled: " << computerRoll << endl;

        if (userRoll < computerRoll){
            cout << "You lose. Try again? [Yes/No]: ";
         }
        if (computerRoll < userRoll){
            cout << "You win! Try again? [Yes/No]: ";
        }
        if (computerRoll == userRoll) {
            cout << "It's a draw. Try again? [Yes/No]: ";
        }
        cin >> yesOrNoChoice;
    } while(yesOrNoChoice != "Yes"); 

    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

The problem is that after asking the user to enter a choice at the end of the do-while-loop the program exits loop no matter what I enter, instead of looping back to another throw of the die.

It ends up like this:

I copied your code and it compiled and ran perfectly. Doesn't make sense exactly, but no issues. I say it doesn't make sense since when "Yes" is entered that is what kills it. I believe what you want it while(yesOrNoChoice == "Yes"). Perhaps having it as != was making you think you were getting the wrong behavior? Also, you should be using if, else if, else statements, not just if.
