a lil help

Code:
 
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
 
int main(int nNumberofArgs, Char* pzArg[])
{
cout << "Hello\n;";
cout << "Whuts up?";
char whatever[20];
cin << whatever[];
if (whatever == "nothing" || "NOTHING")
{
cout << "kool";
}
if (whatever == "programming" || "PROGRAMING")
{
cout << "me 2";
}
else;
{
cout << "awesome\n";
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

The first comparasion work but if i type programming it inputs kool instead of me 2 and the else thing won't work and once it inputs kool it ends the program
(i know my programing skills are low but im working on them )

Ok I can spot 3 immediate problems with this code -

1) You can't use the == operator with character arrays since this tries to compare the pointers not the strings that they point to. Have a look at the function strcmp to do this. (Equally be aware you can't just use = either and need to use strcpy instead).

2) if (whatever == "nothing" || "NOTHING") is syntactically correct but doesn't do what you think it does. After each || or && you need to specify a new comparison operator so whatever == "NOTHING" rather than just "NOTHING" but keep in mind point 1.

3) You have a semicolon after your else statement which has no place being there.

Hope these points help, c/c++ strings are a pain to learn about so stick with it.

Thumbs up

I spotted one other problem.

"cin <<"
should be:
"cin >>"

Good luck with C++
