Program Has Stuff Wrong Wit It

Hi. I am working on my first ever text adventure program. It has no errors, but like it says stuff wrong. If i put in left, it thinks I went right. run the damn program and see what i mean! btw, i am only 1/3 done wit it.-

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char way1;
char way2;
char way3;
char way4;

cout << "Welcome to Ryan's First Text Adventure Game!";
cout << "\nLets start shall we?!";
cout << "\nOne day, you and your friend were bored and decided to go have some ";
cout << "\nfun. There was a house that people said was haunted on the biggest ";
cout << "\nhill in your town. So you guys went up there and knocked. The door ";
cout << "\ncreaked open but no one was there! So you walked in and the door ";
cout << "\nslammed behind you and locked! So here is where it all starts, the ";
cout << "\nescape from the House From Hell....";
cout << "\nWell, you guys decide to start looking around. Should you start left, ";
cout << "\nright, or straight?(l/r/s): ";
cin >> way1;
    if(way1 == 'l')
        cout << "\nYou guys walk through the door to the left and see 2 more doors.";
        cout << "\nDo you want to guys want to go left again or straight ahead?(l/s)";
        cin >> way2;
                if(way2 == 'l')
                      cout << "\nYou guys go left and a demon appears. Do you want ";
                      cout << "\nto fight it or run?(f/r): ";
                      cin >> way4;
                if(way2 == 's')
                      cout << "\nYou guys go straight into a Great Hall. There is 1 door ";
                      cout << "\non each side. Do you guys go left or right?(l/r): ";
                      cin >> way3;
                    if (way3 == 'l')
                        cout << "\nYou go left and there is corpses and bones and skulls everywhere!";
                        cout << "\nThey come alive and kill you guys! O well, Thanks For Playing!" << endl;
                            if(way4 == 'f')
                                cout << "\nYou guys start to fight it but it breathes fire everywhere and you all burn and die. ";
                                cout << "\nThanks for playing!" <<endl;
                            if(way4 == 'r')
                                cout << "\nYou all start to run away but so fast you can't see and fall down a pit. ";
                                cout << "\nYou guys stay and rot there. Ughh!! Thanks for playing!" << endl;               
                           
system("pause");
return 0;
}

You left out all of the braces for your if statements. The way it is now, it will only execute the first statement after the if.

You also didn't use a specific thread title. Most of the people starting a thread in this forum have a "Program with stuff wrong with it"

Ok, I fixed the if statements with the brackets. But it still is wrong. Like if I say go left, then straight, it thinks I went left, then left again. Run it and look!

Revised with brackets for the if statements-

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char way1;
char way2;
char way3;
char way4;

cout << "Welcome to Ryan's First Text Adventure Game!";
cout << "\nLets start shall we?!";
cout << "\nOne day, you and your friend were bored and decided to go have some ";
cout << "\nfun. There was a house that people said was haunted on the biggest ";
cout << "\nhill in your town. So you guys went up there and knocked. The door ";
cout << "\ncreaked open but no one was there! So you walked in and the door ";
cout << "\nslammed behind you and locked! So here is where it all starts, the ";
cout << "\nescape from the House From Hell....";
cout << "\nWell, you guys decide to start looking around. Should you start left, ";
cout << "\nright, or straight?(l/r/s): ";
cin >> way1;
    if(way1 == 'l');
        {
        cout << "\nYou guys walk through the door to the left and see 2 more doors.";
        cout << "\nDo you want to guys want to go left again or straight ahead?(l/s)";
        cin >> way2;
        }
                if(way2 == 'l');
                      {
                      cout << "\nYou guys go left and a demon appears. Do you want ";
                      cout << "\nto fight it or run?(f/r): ";
                      cin >> way4;
                      }
                if(way2 == 's');
                      {
                      cout << "\nYou guys go straight into a Great Hall. There is 1 door ";
                      cout << "\non each side. Do you guys go left or right?(l/r): ";
                      cin >> way3;
                      }
                    if (way3 == 'l');
                        {
                        cout << "\nYou go left and there is corpses and bones and skulls everywhere!";
                        cout << "\nThey come alive and kill you guys! O well, Thanks For Playing!" << endl;
                        }
                            if(way4 == 'f');
                                {
                                cout << "\nYou guys start to fight it but it breathes fire everywhere and you all burn and die. ";
                                cout << "\nThanks for playing!" <<endl;
                                }
                            if(way4 == 'r');
                                {
                                cout << "\nYou all start to run away but so fast you can't see and fall down a pit. ";
                                cout << "\nYou guys stay and rot there. Ughh!! Thanks for playing!" << endl;
                                }               
                           
system("pause");
return 0;
}

You don't put a ; after an if:

Code:

---

if (x == 3); // this if does nothing
{
/*...This always is executed...*/
}

if (x == 3) // this is the correct way
{
/*...This is executed only if x is 3...*/
}

Ok thank you! I got confused.
