Comparing strings issue

EDITED: Dylan Hope, see Simon Sauter's answer. Here is the code after correcting the minor syntax errors. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string MyAnswer; string Questions[3] = {"a b", "c d", "e f"}; string Answers[3] = {"g h","i j", "k l"}; for(int i = 0; i<3; i++){ cout << Questions[i] <<endl; cin >> MyAnswer; if (MyAnswer.compare(Answers[i]) == 0) cout << "Well Done!"; } return 0; }

cin stops reading as soon as it encounters a space. Add cout << MyAnswer; and you'll see that you don't get what you expect. That's why the comparison fails.

Use getline instead. https://www.includehelp.com/cpp-tutorial/how-to-read-a-string-with-spaces-in-cpp.aspx

You can put a minimal working example on sololearn playground so we can test it

Please link your code.

Hi Lisa its not on sololearn but i can type it here: string MyAnswer; string Questions[3] = {the questions}; string Answers[3] = {the answers}; for(int i = 0; i<3; i++){ Cout << Questions[i] <<endl; Cin >> MyAnswer; If (MyAnswer.compare(Answers[i]) == 0 { Cout << “Well Done!”; } Thats what i have atm for for some reason its just always skipping past the well done unless i change 0 to 1

Dylan Hope I created this script for you... Some improvements are required but it captures the essence... https://code.sololearn.com/cY7ExcOK7xLS/?ref=app

Simon Sauter ohhh ok thanks is there any way around this?
