Hi.
I thought that case only can be used on digit variables, such as int, double 
and such stuff.
At least the tutorial I read said that.
I tried both else if and if else before but got problems, now it sort of works.
I don't get any output from my program, but I don' get any compiler errors at 
least.:)
Here is my code. what can I havem made wrong?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout <<"test";
string test;
cin >>test;
if (test=="try")
{
cout <<"nice";
cin.get();
}
 else if(test=="bad")
{
cout <<"that's bad!";
cin.get();
}


return 0;
}

  sure. how are you going to translate
  cin >> direction
  to direction quickly? for that, you may as well just use if ... else if... 
else ...

    Enum Direction {north, south, east, west}; 

      

    Or something akin to it. 

      

    Can I use it now? *smile* 

      

    Take care,

    It is not legal to use a switch/case statement on a non-integral type in 
C++.

    if (direction == "north")
    {
    std::cout << "You go north." << std::endl;
    }
    else if (direction =="south")
    {
    std::cout << "You go south." << std::endl;
    }

    Hi. 

    Now I've decided that I'll learn to do things both without goto, and with 
it. Because then I'll maybe discover that goto is bad:) 

    I got one last code question today. 

    I need so that my program can do more than one action. for example of 
writing a text adventure you want many. 

    I've managed to put an if statement in my code. for example 

    if direction=="south"; 

    { 

    cout<<"you go south."; 

    } 

    Now if I want to go north, how can I do that? 

    I tried if else, but it only says "expected primary expression before else 
expected. 

    Can you help me with this please?
