    Insertion Sort Help

    Hi, I am stumped as to why the following code isn't working properly:
    (I will organize the code into functions and what not after...it was like that before, but i changed it many times to make it work)
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	int testArray[30];
    	int n;
    	string answer;
    	for (n=0; n<30; n++)
    	{
    		testArray[n]=rand();
    	}
    	
    
    	for(int z=0; z<30; z++)
    	{
    		cout << testArray[z] << "   " << endl;
    	}
    	
    	cout << "Would you like to sort the array?" << endl;
    	cin >> answer;
    
    	if(answer == "yes" || "Yes")
    	{
    		int key;
    		int i;
    	
    		for(int j=1; j<30; j++)
    		{
    			key=testArray[j];
    			i=j-1;
    			
    			while(testArray[i]>key && i>=0)
    			{
    				testArray[i+1]=testArray[i];
    				i--;
    			}
    		}
    		testArray[i+1]=key;
    		for(int p=0; p<30; p++)
    		{
    			cout << testArray[p] << "   " << endl;
    		}
    	}
    	else if(answer == "no" || "No")
    	{
    		cout << "Ok..." << endl;
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		cout << "Your answer was invalid!" << endl;
    	}
    
    
    	return 0;
    }

    I guess you fixed this then?
    Code:
    if(answer == "yes" || "Yes")
    ->
    Code:
    if(answer == "yes" || answer == "Yes")
