Thread: Im lost... any ideas? please help

I am just starting C++ so i do not know very much how ever i hope to acomplish a fairly simple program to learn more about C++. Here is the problem:

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   
   //Variables
    
    char charName[21];
    char race[6];
  
   //Intro
   
     cout << "BLAH";
   
   //Character Information
      
        //Name
   cout << "Enter a Name:\n" ;
   cin.get(charName,21);
   cin.ignore(100,'\n');
   cout << "Good Morrow, "  << charName << '\n';
         
         //Race
   cout << "Race: \n";
   cin >> race;
    
   while(strcmp(race, "human")!=0)
    {      
        cout << "YOU FAIL! \n...Race: \n";       
    }   
   cout << "Name:  " <<  charName <<  "\n" << "Race:  "  <<  race << "\n";
        //Class
        //Gender
       system("PAUSE");
       return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The While loop works for just "human", i would like it to work for "human" and "elf". I have tried to use the ( || ) but i could not get it to work. If you have any idea what i am doing wrong, what i have to do to make it work, or anything to improve anything else please reply. Thank you
