Beginner Question about OR operator

Im having trouble getting this to work. Im not sure if Im using the OR operator right... since it will only output the "Wrong!" no matter what.

Just assume the rest of the code is there.

Code:

---

        cout << endl << "Now, what number am I thinking of from 1 to 10?" << endl;
        cin >> answer;
        if (answer == (6 || 9)) {
            cout << "Right!" << endl;
        }
        else if (answer == (5 || 7 || 8 || 10)) {
            cout << "Close! But you just missed it!" << endl;
        }
        else {
            cout << "Wrong" << endl;
        }

What am I doing wrong?

Im a beginner just playing around with C++

Thank you for any help.

yes you are using it wrong, 6 || 9 equals true. If you are comparing answer to either 6 or 9 you need to do each comparison seperatly

Code:

---

( answer == 6 ) || ( answer == 9 )

look up operator precedence and operator associativity ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_associativity, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.80).aspx )

Thank you very much Pyro!
