Hey all, so I'm currently in my last year in school and want to go down the career path of programming. So I decided to begin learning early. I want to learn C++ and have followed lessons 1 and 2 on this site. However when coming to test my skills I'm currently stuck and don't know whether or not I've understood correctly.

Code:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
    int age;
    int current_year = 2012;

    cout<<"Please enter your age: "; //Asks for Age
    cin>> age; //Recives user input as their age
    cin.ignore();

    //Repeats age then works out when the person was born by taking the age away from 2012 or 2011 incase their birthday hasn't came around yet
    cout<<"Your age is: "<< age <<" which mean you where either born in "<< current_year - age <<" or "<< (current_year - 1) - age<<"\n";

    if (age < 10) //Asks if your less than 10 years old, then tells you that you're pretty young
    {
        cout<<"You are pretty young!";
    }

    else if (age > 10 && < 20) //Asks if you are between 10 and 20 and then tells you that you're a teen
    {
        cout<<"You are a teen!";
    }

    else if (age > 20 && < 50) //Asks if you are between 20 and 50 and then tells you that you're middle-aged
    {
        cout<<"You middle aged";
    }

    else if (age > 50) //Asks that if you are over 50, and then tells you that you're quite old
    {
        cout<<"You are quite old!";
    }
}
This is the current program I am trying to write, where you enter your age in, it tells you what year you may have been born in the says where your young, old, or middle aged.

However I am getting a few problems:

1. When trying to run the program it is saying that:
Code:
 else if (age > 10 && < 20)
{
...
}


else if (age > 20 && < 50)
{
...
}
is incorrect.

2. That when I press enter it goes through the whole program, where as I want you to enter you name, press enter, it tells you there year, press enter, it tells you young, old, etc.

Any help that you guys can offer would be a joy.

Thanks in advance
