Thread: How do I use strings with if statements? (COMPARISON)

Hi
I'm using something like this to give the user a way of choosing what effects to use in an audio processing console applictaion.

Code:

 int Q;
    cout << "Do you want to add effect?\n" << "1 for Yes or 0 for No." << endl;
    cin >> Q;
    if (Q == 1)
    {
       // EFFECT FUNCTION GOES HERE
    }
    else if (Q == 0)
      //  MOVES ONTO NEXT FUNCTION

how could I do this with strings? so the user would put "yes" or "no"? I have looked up sting.compare but I don't know how to apply it. I tried something like this.

Code:

 string Q1("yes");
    string Q2("no");
    string Q3;
    cout << "Do you want to add effect?\n" << "yes or no" << endl;
    cin >> Q3;
    if (Q3.compare(Q1));
    {
        // EFFECT FUNCTION GOES HERE
    }
    if (Q3.compare(Q2));
        // MOVES ONTO NEXT FUNCTION

but it doesn't work (I type in "no" and it still runs the effect)



THANK YOU
