Answer 1

// try this

int x;
cin>>x;
if(x<1) cout<<"shh";
else if(x>10) cout<<"High Five";
else for(int i=0;i<x;i++) cout<<"Ra!";

Answer 2

When I entered 5 it printed:

a

which came from
else
cout << "a" ;

Notice the "a" is in quotes, so it is a literal string, not a variable name.

Plus there was a warning about line 12,
a = 'Ra!' * n ;

In C++, please understand that strings do not multiply like they do in Python syntax. You will have to use something else, like a loop, to repeat the string. Also unlike Python, C++ distinguishes between " (double quote) for strings and ' (single quote) for single characters. That is what the warning is about -- using multiple characters inside a single-character quotation.

Answer 3

SoloProg thank you. I didn't think about using for loop. Now it works!

Answer 4

Brian ah right! Thank you. Now I understand what was wrong.
