IF ELSE program failure.

[Domenatrice]

I wrote a program that would help me study for a test and I got 100 errors all were pretaining the if else statements.

one - loop;

{
loop ++;

= is the assignment operator if you need to compare you need to use the comparison operator ==.

[JosAH]

Yep, comparison for equality cannot be done with a = operator (simple assignment operator); but then again, the code above is so full of errors, I don't even know where to start and I suggest to the OP to throw it away and start again; this stuff is broken beyond repair ...

kind regards,

Your right, but i thought i would address his exact question........every thousand mile journey starts with one step?

Your right, but i thought i would address his exact question........every thousand mile journey starts with one step?

True, but in this case I still suggest the OP to take one step back and start again (and read a tutorial first), the shown code is nothing but a mess.

kind regards,
