C++ Multi-Character Character Constant Warning

Question

I keep getting a multi-character character constant warning after the 'yes' input in my Game code (I would post it, but my computer doesn't allow me to and I currently can't access my phone). Does anyone know how to fix the error?

^Here you go. Fixed it up a little for you. Hope that helps.

:::INPUT:::
AgentSmith
Fighter
yes

:::: OUTPUT :::::

What is your name?
Welcome to my world AgentSmith.

Pick your class:

Fighter
Witch
Archer

You chose Fighter.

Is this correct?

As a Fighter, your job is to kill as many enemies as possible to rid this world of evil.

:::CODE:::
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string playerName;
string playerClass;
string classConfirm;

// Name selection
cout << "What is your name?\n";
cin >> playerName;

// Greeting
cout << "Welcome to my world " << playerName << ".\n\n";

// Class selection
ClassMenu:
cout << "Pick your class: \n\n"
"Fighter\n\n"
"Witch\n\n"
"Archer\n\n";

cin >> playerClass;
cout << "\n";
cout << "\nYou chose " << playerClass << ".\n\n"
"Is this correct?\n\n";
cin >> classConfirm;
if (classConfirm == "yes") {
cout << "As a " << playerClass << ", your job is to kill as many enemies as possible to rid this world of evil.\n";
}
else
{
cout << "Please pick another class.\n";
goto ClassMenu;
}

return 0;
}

Answer 2

Change it from:
char input;

To:
string input;

You're getting the error because char is expecting a single char, not a string of chars. Also, I see some logic issues. Create a variable that's storing the selected class, then you can properly display the class name in the message. At the moment you're displaying the value of input, which is simply checking for if you say "yes" to your selection being correct.

You're welcome bro! Hope that helps out some. Best of luck in your learning!

Answer 4

Hard to say without you posting anything at all. Have you tried double quotes instead of single quotes?

Can you post that specific lines of the code? Just a matter of copy/paste the line.

AgentSmith Thank you!

Answer 6

AgentSmith I have, and it doesn't work. And I did post the code on Code Playground and it's the topmost code on my profile.
