why it dont cout??

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#define YES 1
#define NO 0

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x=YES;
    int y;
    if (x==YES){
                cout<<"goed geantwoord";
                cin>>y;
                if(y==5){
                x==NO;
                }
                }
    if (x==NO){
              cout<<"x=no";
              }
              return 0;
              }

---

why isnt't it couting "x=no"????
ps: it is couting "goed geantwoord"


thnx in advance

Probably because you are comparing x to NO instead of assigning NO to x... and possibly also because 5 is not entered.

> x==NO;
Because this is a useless comparison, rather than a meaningful assignment.
Use = here.

$ g++ -W -Wall foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In function `int main()':
foo.cpp:15: warning: statement has no effect

No==x dont work
and the rare thing is it is printing the first thing:s
i give it some other trie

It means you have to write

Code:

---

x=NO;

---

btw this isnt working too

Code:

---

#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
   
    int x;
   
    cout<<"goed geantwoord";
                x=false;
               
    if (x=false){
              cout<<"x=no";
              main();
              }
              cin.get();             
              }

Code:

---

    if (x=false){

And what does that line?

BTW, your indentation is HORRIBLE.

> if (x=false)
I didn't say do a global substitute of == to =

Also, use a loop rather than calling main() recursively (which is illegal in C++)

And echo maxorator on the code formatting.

if i think what identitation means , (i dont know it sure)

then you are right , i know it ,but when i change in 1minute much things and tried things it becum like this;)

Indentation means proper alignment and spacing, as so:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
        bool x;

        while ( true )
        {
                cout << "goed geantwoord";
                x = false;
                       
                if ( x == false )
                        cout << "x=no";

                cin.get();
        }

        return 0;
}

Although I really don't see any use for an unending program.

it's for learning;)
