Problem with using an if and an array

Question

I'm a C++ beginner that's trying to make a little question game to help learn the periodic table (in French) and when I run it on my compiler it gives me the error "no match for operator == ". Any comments are useful.

Answer 1

You cannot compare a string to an integer.
Doing something like this is invalid :
1 == "H".

I suggest you turn x to a string, and then input the abbreviation itself.

Answer 2

something like would be helpful

Answer 3

@shobhit
But in the end, it depends on what Nicholas is going to input to the console. If its a string, he will have to change x, else he will have to do a comparison like your modified program does.

Answer 4

@kinshuk i don't know what nicholas wants from this program so it depends as you said.

Answer 5

Answer 6

you would need to input a string, check its index & output that index of element array.
