Thread: If question ?

The pattern

Code:

if(a == x || y || z)

Doesn't do what you want. You need:

Code:

if(a == x || a == y || a == z)

Code:

int len = strlen(input);
for ( int ix = 0; ix < len; ix++)
{
     input[ix] = tolower( (unsigned char) input[ix] );
}

if(input == "mom")
    {
             if(mom == 0 && dad == 0)
             {
             cout << "Im not yer mom ..........\n";
             mom = 1;
             }
              if(dad == 0 && mom == 1)
             {
             cout << "I told you already im not yer Mother\n";
             }
             if(dad == 1 && mom == 0)
             {
             cout << "Im not yer Mom Either\n";
             mom = 1;
             }
             if(dad == 1 && mom == 1)
             {
             cout <<"Im not yer parent at all u Hoe\n";
             }
    }

i think that would be much better...since you convert first to lower case...

auralius' basic idea is to change all the letters of the string into lower case so you can compare more easily. You can ignore the actual implementation except for the use of tolower() which is found in <cctype>.
