Why is my code executing one of my "if" statements when I'm entering the conditions of another?

Question

string words;
cin >> words;

if ((words == "Hi") || (words == "hi")) {
cout << "Hello!" << endl; }

if ((words == "How are you?") || (words == "how are you?")) {

cout << "I'm doing fine, thanks!" << endl;}

I'm entering "How are you?" but the program is outputting "Hello!" Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

Answer 1

If you type any string this compiler will treat it as multiple inputs so it is better to assign the value to some variable and then execute it..

Answer 2

yes the user wouldn't be able to type "How are you" or Hi but this problem is only with this compiler..I think in turbo c++ we can enter string with space..

Answer 3

thank you!

Answer 4

But how can I assign the value of a string to another variable?

Answer 5

instead of cin>>words;
use words="Hi"

Answer 6

But if I use words = "Hai", then the users wouldn't be able to input the word, would they?

Answer 7

Thank you so much!
