    Unhappy help with guessing game program

    i have to make a program that has 1 tpoic and 10 questions relating to the topic. i am supposed to use if statements and variables, but am having a real hard time. i dont understand them at all. can anyone help me. here is the code i have so far, but since i have no understanding of variables and if statements there are none here.

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    //Jake Fletcher
    //2-2-06
    //6th Hour
    
    
    int main()
    {
    
    
    
          cout << "Welcome To Jake's Guessing Game! \n" ;
          cout << "The Topic Is: Rock n Roll \n" ;
          
          cout << "\n";
          
          cout << "1) What Band Sings: Living After Midnight? \n" ;
          cout << "   A) Judas Priest " << "C) AC/DC \n" ;
          cout << "   B) Cream        " << "D) Guns n Roses \n" ;
          //A) Judas Priest
          
          cout << "\n";
          
          cout << "2) Which Of The Following Isn't 1 Of The 4 Main Instruments In A Rock Band? \n" ;
          cout << "   A) Rythm Guitar " << "B) Banjo \n" ;
          cout << "   C) Drums        " << "D) Bass \n" ;

          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }

    Well an if/else statement looks like this:

    Code:
    if( expression )
    {
        // do this
    } else {
       // do this
    }
    If you don't understand what a variable is, i suggest you read a good book/tutorial about C++.

    Sorry if its not, but this sounds school related, you should look over what you learned. Its pretty simple though, you just have to declare a variable for each question
    Code:
     
    char q1;
    char q2;
    and then use cin to replace the variable with the users choice.
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    //Jake Fletcher
    //2-2-06
    //6th Hour
    
    
    int main()
    {
    char q1;  //Declares the character variable "q1".
    
    
          cout << "Welcome To Jake's Guessing Game! \n" ;
          cout << "The Topic Is: Rock n Roll \n" ;
          
          cout << "\n";
          
          cout << "1) What Band Sings: Living After Midnight? \n" ;
          cout << "   A) Judas Priest " << "C) AC/DC \n" ;
          cout << "   B) Cream        " << "D) Guns n Roses \n" ;
          //A) Judas Priest
         cout <<"Answer: ";
         cin>>q1;  //Replaces The Variable "q1" with the players choice.
         cin.ignore();  //Ignores the Press of the enter key.
    Basically you just make a char for each question, use cin to define replace the variable with the users choice, and use cin.ignore() to ignore the enter key.

    As for if statements:
    Code:
    if (q1=='a') {
    cout <<"Question 1: Correct!";
    }
    else {
    cout<<"Question 1: Wrong!";
    }
    You can do that for each question Variable replacing the 'a' with the answer to that particular question. Remember, you have to have ' ' around your answer because you are using characters not numbers. Also, == means check for equality while just = means set equal to.
    Enjoy,
    Kyle

    Code:
    int score = 0;  //Sets the Variable "score" to zero.
    Code:
    if (q1=='a') {
    cout <<"Question 1: Correct!";
    score = score + #  //Replace # w/ how many points to give for the question.
    }
    else {
    cout<<"Question 1: Wrong!";
    }
    if (q2=='b') {
    cout<<"Question 2: Correct!";
    score = score + #  
    }
    else {
    cout<<"Question 2: Wrong!";
    }
    At the end of the Program:
    Code:
    cout<<"Your Score: "<< score <<"\n";  // Prints the value of variable "score".

          cin>>q10;  //Replaces The Variable "q10" with the players choice.
          cin.ignore();  //Ignores the Press of the enter key.
          
          if (q10='d') {
          cout <<"Question 10: Correct!";
          score + #  //Replace # w/ how many points to give for the question.
          }
          else {
          cout<<"Question 10: Wrong!";
          }
          
          cout<<"Your Score: "<< score <<"\n";  // Prints the value of variable "score".
      
          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }
    and again this program is for notes, so we know and understand how if statements and variables/characters work.

    You have to make it look like this:
    Code:
    if (q1='a') {
          cout <<"Question 1: Correct!";
          score = score + 1;  //Replace # w/ how many points to give for the question.
          }
          else {
          cout <<"Question 1: Wrong!";
          }
    You didnt replace the #'s with an actual number of points to reward the player.

    Your if's are using equals instead of equal to. Equal to is two equals (==). Try to remember that because it usually won't cause any compiler errors.
    Your errors are probably all from score + #. It needs to be score = score + #; or score += #;
    You really don't need 10 different char variables for the answer unless you want to keep track of what they picked for each question.

    no there not, its from the # symbols, you have to replace them with an actual integer for it to work, I was just showing an example, the commenting even said that.

          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }
    Also, If you want to ensure there wont be any error, put the following under each cin.ignore();
    Code:
    q#=tolower(q#); //REPLACE # with the number of the variable.
    
    Ex.
    
    q2=tolower(q2);
    That will make all the characters lower case and ensure that there are no errors with the if statements, if you didnt do that and someone entered an Uppercase Letter instead of a lowercase letter it would say you got it right even if you didnt.
    Enjoy

    >> Alright, I fixxed your mistakes

    There are still mistakes in that code. Syneris pointed out a major problem already that still needs to be fixed.
