Why this program showing the result "too young" instead of " adult" ???

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int age = 42;
if (age=16)
{ cout<<"too young";}
else if ( age=42)
{ cout << "Adult";}

return 0;
}

Answer 1

To check equality, you *must* use ==.
Here, you're using single =, which assigns 16 to age. Any value that isn't 0 is evaluated as true, so the first if runs.
