#include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(){ char answer; cout <<"hello"<<endl<<"this is a test"<<endl<<"say something"; cin answer; cout <<"this is what u have answered"<<answer; cin.get(); return 0; } it only gives one error and it has something to do with the variable "answer"

cout <<"hello"
cin >> answer;

I think you should split that line of code into this. Unless there is another way to code it.

maybe this is what you want to do?

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
int answer; //this can be changed to some other type
char answer;
cout <<"hello";
cin >>answer;
cout <<"this is what u have answered"<return 0;
}

you would go

if (answer =="q") {cout<<"Goodbye");

i think

I don''t think this is what he is looking for, I think what they want to do is have the loop the program until the user only puts the letter "q"

for that you need to use a
repeat until or a do while loop

Tristan, I''d recommend you check out some basic C++ books from your local library. They won''t turn you into an overnight expert, but they do cover things like what you''re asking.

Maybe this is something that you have been looking for...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char answer;
cout<<"Press q to quit...";

// Run loop until the q has been pressed
do
{
// Read the keyboard
cin>>answer;
} while(answer!=''q'' && answer!=''Q'');

cout<<"Finally you found the right key!!";
return 0;
}
