Thread: Why wont this character comparison work?

When I enter in n or y it freezes the program. I am wanting it to recognize Y or N...

cout << "Are these stats acceptable? (Y/N)"<<endl;
gets(yesno);
for( int i = 0; i < 3; ++i ) toupper( yesno[i] );
if (strchr(yesno,'Y')==0)
{
cout << "You are now ready to enter the game. Entering game now..."<<endl;
//enter the game.
};
if (strchr(yesno,'N')==0)
{
cout << "You are very hard to please. Very well. We will roll again."<<endl;

Don't use gets().

This should work:

Code:

char yesno;

cout << "Acceptable? << endl << ":> ";
yesno = cin.get();

if( yesno == 'y' || yesno == 'Y' )
   cout << "Then we will proceed.." << endl;
else
   cout << "Then we will re-roll.." << endl;

Try it out.
