Thread: c++ string problem

this is suppose to be a part for my game .
wut it does is,asks you for your characters name you give it,ask you for you characters class you type wut u want yur characters class to be but theres an error and im confused

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
 char name[50];
int answer;

cout<<"please enter your characters name :";
cin.getline ( name, 50 );

cout<<"what would you like your players class to be :";

cout<<"1 dragon";
cout<<" 2 vampire hunter";
strcat ( name );
cin>> answer;
if ( int answer = 1 )
{
cout>>"so your characters name is "<<name <<"\n";
}
cin.get;
}

and ive figured out and debuged most the problems but im at a blank here i dont even know wut this is
