You need to change the following two lines:





char answer;


changes to


string answer;





if (answer = 'yes')


changes to


if (answer == "yes")





What you are doing is setting answer = 'yes' currently, which returns true for each char (letter), hence returning 3 times. By using == you perform a comparison, and since char is only 1 character, as opposed to string which is many characters, the comparison works correctly only on a "yes" answer. Feel free to give it a shot. I compiled and tested it and everything worked after the above changes.
