Help me with my code please

Question

For some reason my code still prints "hi" when the bool is false. Can anyone help?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class John{
public:
void johnMeeting(){
cout << "Hi";
}
};

int main()
{
bool johnInteraction = false;
int x = johnInteraction;
if (johnInteraction = true){
John Meeting;
Meeting.johnMeeting();
}
if (johnInteraction = false){
cout << "John will not be doing anything";
}
}

Answer 1

In both your if-structures you need to put == instead of = to compare the booleans. Now you're actually putting the value of johnInteraction on true in your first if-structure so the program will always execute that first if.

Answer 2

replace "=" with "==". "==" means you are comparing the right hand side to the left hand side, which i guess is what you want your program to do. So replace it and it will work fine.

Answer 3

Thank you both!
