Problem with the if statment

[varmision]

Okay so I learned the if statment today and tried combining it with a calculator. And I thouth if i wrote

  if(ans = 100) {
    cout << "You are awesome! \n \n";
   } 

it will print out You are awesome! everytime your answer is 100. But it is not working everytime I enter something like 10 and 50 the answer will be 60 but it still prints out you are awesome. Why is that?

  #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

  int a;
  int b;
  int ans;

  cout << "Enter a number and press ENTER! \n";
  cin >> a;

  cout << "Enter another number and press ENTER! \n";
  cin >> b;

  ans = a + b;
  cout << "The answer is ";
  cout << ans;
   cout << "\n";

   if(ans = 100) {
    cout << "You are awesome! \n \n";
   }

    return 0;
}

Try this :

if(ans == 100)

Equality operator, not assignment.
