Thread: I'm having a bit of a problem

I don't get what you're trying to do with those if statements.

Since you're new to this, I suggest using the much easier "string" class instead of char arrays. See here for details:
std::string - C++ standard library - Cprogramming.com

main() is a function like any other, and it should return an int, like this:

Code:

int main()
{
    // Your code goes here

    return 0;
}

Arrays start counting from zero, so a six-character array would be from "name[0]" to "name[5]".

If you're trying to get an entire string and not just a single character, use just the name of the array, without any index.

What do you think line #14 does?

To use C-style strings you should include <cstring> not <string> (which is for C++ strings). And you need to use strcmp to compare them. It returns 0 if they are equal.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    char name[100];
    cout << "Name: \n";
    cin.getline(name, sizeof name);
    cout << "So, your name is: " << name << '\n';
    cout << "Is that right?\n1.Yes\n2.No\n";
    cin.getline(name, sizeof name);
    if (strcmp(name, "Yes") == 0)
        cout << "Ok, that's cool.\n";
    else
        cout << "Yikes.\n";
    return 0;
}

To use C++ strings:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    string line;

    cout << "Name: \n";
    getline(cin, line);

    cout << "So, your name is: " << line << '\n';

    cout << "Is that right?\n1.Yes\n2.No\n";
    getline(cin, line);

    if (line == "Yes")
        cout << "Ok, that's cool.\n";
    else
        cout << "Yikes.\n";

    return 0;
}

You have to enter Yes exactly the way it is in the comparisons. So the Y needs to be capitalized.

If you want a case-insensitive comparison, the easiest method is to convert the input string to all upper (or lower) case.
toupper returns a character in uppercase (and returns non-alpha chars unchanged).

Code:

// C-style strings

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
  
int main() {
    char name[100];
    cout << "Name: ";
    cin.getline(name, sizeof name);
    cout << "So, your name is: " << name << '\n';

    char line[100];
    cout << "Is that right?\n1.Yes\n2.No\n";
    cin.getline(line, sizeof line);
    int sz = strlen(line);
    for (int i = 0; i < sz; i++) line[i] = toupper(line[i]);

    if (strcmp(line, "YES") == 0)
        cout << "Ok, that's cool.\n";
    else
        cout << "Yikes.\n";

    return 0;
}



// C++ strings

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
  
int main() {
    string name;
    cout << "Name: ";
    getline(cin, name);
    cout << "So, your name is: " << name << '\n';

    string line;
    cout << "Is that right?\n1.Yes\n2.No\n";
    getline(cin, line);
    for (auto& c: line) c = toupper(c);

    if (line == "YES")
        cout << "Ok, that's cool.\n";
    else
        cout << "Yikes.\n";
 
    return 0;
}
