Hello, 

I am brand new to programming and am currently attempting to learn 
C++. 
I am unable to get the below program to evaluate the string that is 
entered for the name. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and 
if it is even possible to run an "if" statement and make it evaluate 
a string? 

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{ string name;
cout << "Please enter your name ";
cin >> name;
if (name == 'John')
cout << "Your name is John ";
else
cout << "Your name is not John ";
return 0;
}
