Need C++ Help

[Isamil]

I'l update this whenever I change the code.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int score;
  score = 0;
  string help;
  string thehelp;
  string one;
  string two;
  string three;
  string four;
  string five;
  thehelp = "You will be given questions about Social Studies.  When you get the question,   you get 3 choices.  You will then press A, B, or C and hit enter. You move onto the next question, and if you got the last question right, you will get a point.";
  cout<<"Welcome to the Social Studies game"<<endl;
  cout<<"If you want to learn how to play, press A.  If you want to play, press B"<<endl;
  cin>>help;
  if(help == "A") {
    cout << thehelp <<endl;
  }
  else( help == "B") {
    cout<<"First question"<<endl;
    cout<<"Who were carpetbaggers?"<<endl;
    cout<<"\tA:People who made carpet"<<endl;
    cout<<"\tB:People who went into the south looking to become rich"<<endl;
    cout<<"\tC:A type of bird"<<endl;
    cin>>one;
    }
    if (one == "B") {
        score++;
        }
    else() {
    
  }
  
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
}

What is wrong with my code?

Try this:

Code: [Select]


#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 int score;
 score = 0;
 string help;
 string thehelp;
 string one;
 string two;
 string three;
 string four;
 string five;
 thehelp = "You will be given questions about Social Studies.  When you get the question,   you get 3 choices.  You will then press A, B, or C and hit enter. You move onto the next question, and if you got the last question right, you will get a point.";
 cout<<"Welcome to the Social Studies game"<<endl;
 cout<<"If you want to learn how to play, press A.  If you want to play, press B"<<endl;
 cin>>help;
 if(help == "A") {
   cout << thehelp <<endl;
 }
 else if( help == "B") {
   cout<<"First question"<<endl;
   cout<<"Who were carpetbaggers?"<<endl;
   cout<<"\tA:People who made carpet"<<endl;
   cout<<"\tB:People who went into the south looking to become rich"<<endl;
   cout<<"\tC:A type of bird"<<endl;
   cin>>one;
   if (one == "B") {
       score++;
   }
 }
 
 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;
}

Disclaimer:  I don't really know C++, so I'm just guesstimating.
