    char confirmCar='n';

    while((confirmCar!='y')||(confirmCar!='Y')||(confirmCar!='q')||(confirmCar!='Q')){
       // system("cls");
        cout<<"Please enter Car's model:"; //Input
        cin.getline(newCar.model,21);
        cout<<"Please enter license tag:";
        cin>>newCar.license;
        cin.ignore(1000,'\n');

        cout<<"Add car '"<<newCar.model<<"' with license tag '"<<newCar.license<<"'? (Y/n/q):";
        cin.get(confirmCar).ignore(1000,'\n'); //check
        cout<<confirmCar;//Debug
    }//While


For some reason it won't end the loop even when ConfirmCar outputs y. Any form of help or hint would be very very appreciated.

Edit: This is a c++ questions, however I'm using cstrings.

You need to use && rather than || to combine the separate conditions in the while statement.

Currently, if the user enters 'y', the first condition is false, but the other three are true. Combined using a logical OR, the result is always true.
