Lines 27 to 31 have a problem involving the if and else clauses. I'll leave it to you to find out just what is wrong, becuase this seems to be an assignment. This isn't the only problem I found, just one of the most glaring. Also, in the future, please make your questions lower case and outside of the code block. And just because you say "HELP ME!! PLEASE" does not mean I (or anybody else) will want to help you more.

Hope that helps,
Jack

"MY PROGRAM DOSEN'T END, IT DOSENT ASK THE USER IF THEY WANT TO PLAY IT AGAIN"
you have a while loop based upon the condition of the "done" variable, more specifcally you hvae while(!done), think about when this case evaluates to false and causes your program to exit the loop and continue with the program execution
