Thread: need "if" help

I am trying to make a program that asks for a number, and if you give it the right number, it will give you a message telling you that it is either correct or incorrect.
Here's the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a;
    cout<<"Enter a number: ";
    cin>>a;
    cin.ignore();
    if(a==15){
        cout<<"Correct!\n";
    if(a!=15){
        cout<<"Incorrect!\n";

    cin.get();

    }

}

Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong or if I missed anything? I am new to cpp, so I'm kind of clueless. Thanks.

What does your compiler have to say on the topic?

These kinds of simple mistakes are easily caught by them.

Also, inferring from your code, CONGRATULATIONS ....for using a _good_ compiler, not a prehistoric one !!

Where are your closing braces "}" for your if statements?

You could also use an if/else instead of the two separate if statements.

Code:

if(a==15){
        cout<<"Correct!\n";
}
else {    
        cout<<"Incorrect!\n";
}

hey thanks, it worked!

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a;
    cout<<"Enter a number: ";
    cin>>a;
    cin.ignore();
    if(a==15){
        cout<<"Correct!\n";
    if(a!=15){
        cout<<"Incorrect!\n";

    cin.get();

    }

}

i believe your problem is "if(a!=15)"

should have 2 "==" to look for equality and not assigning.
