im very new to programming also but i dont think you can assign a string the
same as other languages
im sure a million people will correct me on this but try this
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <clx.h>
#pragma hdrstop
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{ char name[20];// makes a char array of 20 elements
cout << "Please enter your name ";
gets(name);//gets accepts spaces and sends value to name array once carraige
return is pressed
if (name == "John")
{
cout << "Your name is John ";
}
else
{
cout << "Your name is not John ";
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
