How do i create an array and use it to display specific data?

Question

So i've been working on a code that would show top5 international news headlines of each month of this year. So i created an array as of following :

String news [ ]= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ;
And another string like this

String month;

What i wanted to do is, use "if loop" for this. As the user would write january, the data would be stored to string month with this code cin>> month; , and if month==news [0] then it would show the headlines from that month which i'd write like this : cout<< news [0]<<endl;

But the error occurs at the very beginning of the string news[ ], with 5 lines of saying "error: '1'/ '2'/ '3' was not declared in this scope"

What did i do wrong, and how can i fix it. And if there is any other way to write this program with c++, i'd be glad to get suggestions as well.

Answer 1

I fixed it boys, didn't put the elements of the string inside " " thats why the error ocurred.

Answer 2

@~swim~ yes true...I agree with u...
But we can use if condition like loop by using.....goto statement
