    Can someone help me im totally stumped

    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;

    int main()

    Code:
    {
     
        string f= female;
        string m= male;
    	string gender;	
    	
    	
    	cout <<"Please Enter Your Gender By Using M or F"<< flush;
    	cin  >> gender;
    	
    	cout << endl;
    
    	if ( gender >= M )
    
    	cout <<"Your Gender Is:"<<" "<<M<<endl;
    
        else 
    		cout <<"Are you female?"<<endl;
    
    return 0;
    
    }
    This is all i have and i know im totally wrong.. Whats my problem?? I can't think in my head how to do this..

    If the input is 'M' then the output should me "Male". If the gender is "F" then the output should be Female. And invalid gender otherwise.. I kinda gave up!!!!

    Your problem is that the operator >= is looking to see if 'gender' is greater then or equal to 'M'. The operator you want to use it == which checks to see if 'gender' is identical to 'M'.

    compare the string gender to the string "M", if (gender == "M")
