Why is this if statement failing?
It seems this code keeps somewhat falling through. Once it gets to the if statement, the if statement no matter what you enter always returns a true value, and follows through. My aim is a simple is this correct question with the user entering Y or N (y or n is also acceptable) but no matter what I type in the if condition seems to return true? If someone could give me some pointers, I would be very grateful! :)
Code:
int starting_menu()
{
int Menu_Selection;
string Menu_Confirm;
cout << "Welcome to " << Program_Header << " Version: " << Program_Version << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << "Please select from the following options to continue." << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << "1. (Enter Selection one here)" << endl;
cout << "2. (Enter Selection two here)" << endl;
cout << "3. (Enter Selection three here)" << endl;
cout << "Selection: ";
cin >> Menu_Selection;
cin.ignore();
cout << "You selected: " << Menu_Selection << endl;
cout << "Is this correct? (Y/N): " << endl;
cin >> Menu_Confirm;
cin.ignore();
if ( Menu_Confirm == "Y" || "y" )
{
switch ( Menu_Selection )
{
case 1:
cout << "Case 1 Goes Here." << endl;
break;
case 2:
cout << "Case 2 Goes Here." << endl;
break;
case 3:
cout << "Case 3 Goes Here." << endl;
break;
}
}
else if ( Menu_Confirm == "N" || "n" )
{
cout << "Rebooting the Main Menu." << endl;
cin.get();
cout << "Menu System Sucessfully Reloaded." << endl;
starting_menu();
}
else
{
cout << "You have not entered a valid input, please try again." << endl;
cout << "You Selected: " << Menu_Selection << endl;
cout << "Is this correct? (Y/N): ";
cin >> Menu_Confirm;
cin.ignore();
}
}
Happy coding!
