[SOLVED] How do I store string answers with "cin"?

Question

I'm trying to make code that .. if I type "yes" something pops up and if i type "no" something pops up. I know how to do to it with number. For example: 1 is yes and 3 is no.

Here is my code sorry if it is messy.

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

int main() {
int a; // I know this must be string.
cout << "Do u want to learn code?\n";
cout << "yes or no?";

Answer 2

You can do this the easiest way. Just change "int a;" to "string a;" and in your "if" type "if(a == "yes")" and "if(a == "no")" . ( cin works the same way for strings)

Answer 5

thanks man it works

Answer 6

i dont know c++ but looks similar to java

"yes or no\n" << this is cout theres no reason why its saying yes isnt declared as its inside print method

the only declaration you have is int a; which im assuming is cin a type of scanner.

code looks alright to me
