Im trying to make my very own code so i need some help im just started learning so sry for all the noobishness o.o When i run my code it starts off like this "Did it work?" ( I enter "Y" for yes here) then all I want is "ok good!" but instead of that all of the other things come up at once! here is my code help plz if i made any sense o.o #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { char question; cout << "Did it work ?" << endl; cin >> question; cout << "Okay good! " << endl; cin >> question; cout << "Would you like to continue?" << endl; cin >> question; cout << "your mission is to defeat the black magaician!" << endl; cin >> question; cout << "You have to first head off to Sleepywood to find his follower The Puppeteer!" << endl; system ("pause"); return 0; } Sry for the cheap questions i couldnt think of anything atm >.<

Try -int #include <iostream> using namespace std; -intmain () { cout <<"Did it work"; return 0; }

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { cout <<"Did it work"; return 0; } The bolded is probably what will fix it. @ above: Read the error message. "Note: C++ does not support -int"

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { cout <<"Did it work"; return 0; } ... that should fix it up.

I gave up on programming after a while. Too complicated x_x

c++ is one of the worst languages to learn programming with. build up your logic with an easier language, then come back to c++.

Yeah, as above I highly recommend starting with Basic C, then moving up to C++, C#, Java or whatever. Or at least have a mild understanding of basic syntax, compiling and executing. I despise C++, the >> syntax needs to burn, it caused me so many pointless and time consuming errors. Evil.

i tested your code and it seemed to work just fine. are you sure you're assigning a proper value for your char variable (during run-time)? note that if you assign more than 1 char to a char variable, the remaining chars stay in a "buffer" and are then assigned to the next variable(s). For example, let's say you typed in "mesos" (without the quotes) for your char variable. the first input for your char variable is "m", the remaining "esos" stay in the buffer, and are assigned to your next variables, one at a time. here's what would happen (the bold part is the input): (changed the code slightly to display the values, input is bolded) Did it work ? mesos mOkay good! eWould you like to continue? syour mission is to defeat the black magaician! oYou have to first head off to Sleepywood to find his follower The Puppeteer! Press any key to continue . . .

-Try to use "If" loop #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { int a,b; cout << "Did it work ? Please enter 1 for yes and 0 for no" << endl; cin >> a; if(a==1){ cout << "Okay good! " << endl; cout << "your mission is to defeat the black magaician!" << endl; cout << "You have to first head off to Sleepywood to find his follower The Puppeteer!" << endl; }else { cout << "Would you like to continue? Please enter 1 for yes and 0 for no" << endl; cin >> b; if(b==1){ cout << "your mission is to defeat the black magaician!" << endl; cout << "You have to first head off to Sleepywood to find his follower The Puppeteer!" << endl; } system ("pause"); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so this script will basically continue to run as you enter 1 for yes, and will end if you enter 0
