error please help urgently

[4jzvC542]

I am trying to compile this program but it is showing errors
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2006 standard edition.
This is my source code:


-------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
int ch;
int chcnt = 0;
int wdcnt = 1;

while ((ch = getche()) != "\r")
{
if (ch == " ")
wdcnt++;
else
chcnt++;
}
std::cout << "No of Character Entered : " << chcnt << "\n";
std::cout << "No of Words Entered : " << wdcnt << "\n";
}
----------------------------------------------------------------


On compiling it shows this error :

" " is a string (const char*). Use ' ' if you want a character (the space character).

You have the same problem in the loop condition with \r.

First of all it is int main not void. Secondly that is a very simple error look how you have defined as an int. then you are trying to set it to a char. It may work because chars are really just ints but when you output it you will get a number and not a char. I would change it to a char instead of an int.
