Answer 1

include &lt;iostream&gt;

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int answer = -1;

cout&lt;&lt;&quot;Would you like to learn c++???: &quot;;

int yes = 1 ;

int no = 0 ;

cout&lt;&lt;&quot;Enter 1 for YES  OR 0 for NO &quot;;

cin&gt;&gt; answer ;

cin.ignore();

if (answer  == yes) {

cout&lt;&lt;&quot;Then ask windows how!\n&quot;;

}

else if (answer  == no) {

cout&lt;&lt;&quot;Fine!!!\n&quot;;

}

else {

cout&lt;&lt;&quot; You did not answer  the question well...\n&quot;;

}

cin.get();

}

//please don&#039;t call you program user a stupid !

Answer 2

Put quotes around yes and no.

if (question == &quot;yes&quot;) {

else if (question == &quot;no&quot;) {  

Answer 3

the statement

if question == yes

question is integer, yes is not declared

you can add following lines in your code

int question; //already exists

int yes = 1;

int no = 2;

Answer 4

The way your code is written, yes and no are variables, and you haven&#039;t declared them.  (Just what your compiler says.)

And you declared question to be an int, so you&#039;d better be expecting the input to come in as an int or you&#039;ll never match.

You could instead put the yes and no in quotes so that you are trying to match a text string, but you still have the problem with question being an int.  Never gonna match.

You either need question to be a text string, or you need to let your user know that he needs to input an integer.

You need to tell your user how to answer.  It&#039;s pretty common to see something like

cout &lt;&lt; &quot;\nWould you like to learn c++ (1=yes, 0=no)? &quot;;

which implies that the answer is 1 or 0

Lots of other checking you could do, but gives you the idea.  And usually you don&#039;t tell the user he&#039;s stupid, you gently say something like &quot;Answer must be 1 or 0, please try again&quot; and loop back.
