Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

std::string readName ();
void display (list <std::string>);
bool promptContinue ();

int main()
{
std::string Business = "";
list <std::string> Array;
bool Continue = true;

do {
//enter input items
Array.push_back(readName ());

//sort business
Array.sort();

//display business
display (Array);

    }while(promptContinue ());

return 0;

} //end of main function

std::string readName ()
    {
    std::string _Business = "";
    cout << "Please enter the name of a business: ";
    getline (cin, _Business);
    return _Business;
    }


void display (list <std::string> _Array)
    {
    cout << "Your businesses are: " << endl;
    int i = 0;
    while (i < _Array.size ())
        {
        cout << _Array.front () << endl;
        _Array.push_back (_Array.front ()); // This loops the front of the list to the back this makes it possible to not use an iterator
        _Array.pop_front ();
        i++;
        }
    }

bool promptContinue ()
    {
    std::string prompt = "";
    cout << "Another Business? ";
    cin >> prompt;
    cin.ignore (); // Clear the whitespace leftover from cin
    return (prompt == "yes");
    }
