when I type "0" in "your_age" it only shows "you are but a child" instead of "you are dead". can you help me?

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int my_age;
int your_age;
my_age=15;
cin>>your_age;
if(my_age>your_age){cout<<"you are but a child";} else{cout<<"my dude";}
if(your_age=0){cout<<"you are dead";}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

when you type "0"as your age, both of the statements:'your_age==0' and 'my_age>your_age' evaluate to 'true' hence both of their bodies are executed. you should rather type:

if(your_age==0){
cout<<"you are dead";
}
else if((your_age>0)&&(my_age>your_age)){
cout<<"you are but a child";
}
else{
cout<<"my dude";
}

Answer 2

…
if(your_age==0){cout<<"you are dead";}
…

"=" is an assignment operator
"==" — comparison for equality

Answer 3

That's correct, according to the programm's logic because 0 is less than "my_age" (15).

You may write it like this:

if (your_age==0) {
cout << "you are dead";
} else if (my_age>your_age) {
cout << "you are but a child";
} else {
cout << "my dude"; // I'm not sure when this should be printed
}
