Question

I cant find the error in this piece of code could anyone please insight me? I ran the debugging but the errors are un-understandable..

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{ 
  string name; 
  cout << "Input your name please?" << endl; 
  cin >> name; 

  if
      {
          (name == "Bart Simpson")  
    cout << "You have been very naughty" << endl; 
  }
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Problems:

1. You have some missing #includes, which probably caused your initial compiler errors.
2. You have a simple syntax error with your if statement.
3. Using the stream extraction operator will never yield a string with whitespace inside of it.

The following should work as you expect:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Input your name please?" << endl;

    string name;
    getline(cin, name);
    if (name == "Bart Simpson")
    {
        cout << "You have been very naughty" << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

(You need to include string for std::string and std::getline, and ostream for std::endl.)
