if(str != "yes" && str != "no") ....

Filip

Because you are asking if both are true, if string is not "yes", and it is not "no" then print something

Filip

Hm, you could write all the cases, for example if(str=="YES"||str=="Yes"||str=="yes")

Filip

What @Filip said. Also you could do if, if else, else: Pseudo code: if(yes) ...HAHA else if(no) ...no? else ...doofus

string str = Console.ReadLine().ToLower(); str is now all lower case so you only need to check with "yes" and "no".

Easiest is regex but idk how it works in cs...

Thanks! that worked! may i ask for an explanation of why AND works but not OR?

Kenneth Bore Eilertsen

is there also an easy way to make the code non-case sensetive? so that you can write ex: "YES", "Yes" or "yes"?

All the things i asked about works now :D Filips "if(str != "yes" && str != "no")" gloriously solved my problem! Jafcas "string str = Console.ReadLine().ToLower();" made my code cooler! Thanks a bunch!
