Help with c++ please :)

[cyber-maniac]

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

char x;

int main()
{
    cout << "Is Family Guy funny?" << endl;
    cin >> x;
    if (x == 'Yes' || x == 'yes' )
          cout << "Correct!" << endl;
    else
        cout << "WRONG" << endl;
       
        system("Pause");
        return 0;
           
    }


I need help with this code, im just experimenting.

The issue is that when i run the code and type yes or Yes it still returns "WRONG" instead of "Correct!", can anyone help?

Try making:

Code: Select all

if (x == 'Yes' || x == 'yes' )


like this:

Code: Select all

if((x == "Yes") || (x== "yes"))


also

Code: Select all

char x;


That will only hold one character. You are trying to fit Yes or yes into it.

Try:

Code: Select all


  string x;



Don't for get to put double quotes around "Yes" and "yes". That should give an error depending on what you are using to compile it. It is probably evaluating Y || y to Yes || yes .

Hey,

A few details would be using cin.get() instead of system("pause") , it's more standard c++. Also you include cmath, but you dont really use it?

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

string x;

int main() {
   
    cout << "Is Family Guy funny?" << endl;
    cin >> x;
    if ((x == "Yes") || (x == "yes")) {
          cout << "Correct!" << endl;
    }
    else {
        cout << "WRONG" << endl;
    }

    cin.ignore(); // this will ignore the '/n' the user ends the input with
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}


But with LoGiCaL__'s changes it should run fine

You mentioned cin.get() what does it do?

Also the cmath was from a previous experimental script i was testing, so i just left it.

The quick answer is here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cin.get()&l=1

But really it just sits there, waiting for some input. Like the system("pause") or getch() , but instead of just working on one platform, it can be compiled and executed on multiple.

How can i input 2 words with the same string?

[Acidiferous]

I'm not sure i know what you mean. Can you give an example?

How can i input 2 words with the same string?

Instead of using:

Code: Select all

cout << "Enter two words: ";
cin >> twoWordVar;


use:

Code: Select all

cout << "Enter two words:";
getline(cin, twoWordVar);
cout << twoWordVar << endl;


Code: Select all

cin >>

Will only take the string up to the first space then cut the rest off.

what i tried was:

Code: Select all


int main()

string x;
string y;

cout << "enter your name" << endl;
cin >> x;
cin >> y;
cout << x+y << endl;
