Boolean

Cany anyone give me an example of a boolean? And, is there anyway to combine bools and strings?

A bool is a variable that can have a value of true or false.



What do you mean by combine bools and strings?

What I mean is there a way to use a bool or an if statement to do the same thing with words and phrases as they normally do with numbers?

...I'm still unclear. Why don't you provide a sample code of what you're thinking of doing.

You can compare strings with strcmp()...

...but I don't know if that's what you're getting at.

This is a sample of the code that i am making. Its almost like i want to create a conversation between the user and the computer.



#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

string Response;
string Replyhowareyou;
string Replylately;
cout<<"Hello\n";
cin>> Response;
cin.ignore();
cout<<"How are you?\n";
cin>> Replyhowareyou;
cin.ignore();
cout<<"Good, thanks.\n";
cin>> Replylately;
cin.ignore();

string hello;

cout<< "So what have you been up to lately?\n" ;
cin>> hello;
cin.ignore();

return 0;
}


I but i want to add If statements in. But instead of using integers, i want to use words.

OK, go ahead. Since you're using the C++ string class, you can compare with the == operator, e.g.

Thank you so much, this is awesome!

Now, is there any way for the cin to prompt a response from the cout, instead of the cout always being the one to prompt an imput?

I'm confused again. cout is for output, cin is for input. Period.

Right, but usually in code cout comes first. Is there any way that you can have the user input data (cin) and then prompt a response from the computer. So have cin come before cout in code.

Sure, just declare a string variable and put the getline(cin, string_variable) before any cout<< statements. You control cout and cin; there is no defined order.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
