questions about if, or, not, and etc

Code:

---


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        int ggg;
        cout <<"enter a number\n";
        cin>>ggg;
        cin.ignore();
        if (ggg == 776 && 777){
                cout <<"you entered 776 or 777";
        }
        else {
                cout <<"bah\n";
        }
        cin.get();
}

I think you get the idea of what im TRYING to do.
now, taking this idea can someone show me how to use it correctly? also with or/not
thanks! im a little confused while reading the tutorial

Well I assume you want to check if they enter 776 or 777, yes? Well you need to use the || (logical OR operator).

EDIT: Also, think about how you've wrote your if statement. This is what it will do as you've wrote it:

It will check if ggg equals 776, if this is true it will turn "ggg == 776" into 1. Now any other value other than 0 is true, so 777 turns into 1. So the if statement is:

Code:

---

if (1 && 1)
{
    //1 && 1 = true so this will execute
}

---

Code:

---

if ( ggg == 776 || ggg == 777)
{
    cout <<"you entered 776 or 777";
}

awesome thanks for the help

You should give this a read:

To better your understanding of conditional statements and conditional expressions. Once you understand the last part of that tutorial it gets really easy. :)
