you should also test for some characters ("abc@abc.abc") and the "."

Solution 2

A loop? Pretty simple:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
bool ContainsChar(char c, const char *str)
{
    while (*str)
    {
        if (*str++ == c) return true;
    }
    return false;
}
int main()
{
    cout<<ContainsChar('@', "Hello World");
    cout<<ContainsChar('@', "Hello@World");

    return 0;
}

Solution 1

C++

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

bool is_input_ok( const string & input )
{
  return (input.find('@') != string::npos);
}


int main()
{
  string email_address;
  do
  {
    cout << "please enter the email address:\n";
    cin >> email_address;
  } while ( ! is_input_ok( email_address) );
}
