Modifying the program

[D4NbpfjN]

Write your question here.

It is asking for me to modify the program so that the user inputs both values to be tested for equality. Make sure you have a prompt for each input. Test the program with pairs of values that are the same and that are different. So where do i start on this question?

  // This program tests whether or not an initialized value
// is equal to a value input by the user
// PLACE YOUR NAME HERE
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
int num1, // num1 is not initialized
num2 = 5; // num2 has been initialized to 5
cout << "Please enter an integer" << endl;
cin >> num1;
cout << "num1 = " << num1 << " and num2 = " << num2 << endl;
if (num1 == num2)
cout << "Hey, that’s a coincidence!" << endl;
if (num1 != num2)
cout << "The values are not the same" << endl;
return 0;
}

The question states: "the user inputs both values to be tested".
You've hard coded one value (num2).

Other than that, your program is fine.

line 15: You really don't need a second if statement here. An else will work just fine.

So since i have coded num2, I just need to do the first num1 just like num2 for it to be tested for equality?

Other way around. You need to do num2 like num1.

thank you. I tried that and I am getting some errors. Below is the modified code. What did i do wrong to be getting errors?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int
		num1, // num1 is not initialized
		num2, // num2 is not initialized
	cout << "Please enter an integer" << endl;
	cin >> num1;
	cout << "num1 = " << num1 << " and num2 = " << num2 << endl;
	{
		if (num1 == num2)
			cout << "Hey, that’s a coincidence!" << endl;
		else (num1 == num2)
			cout << "The values are not the same" << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

Line 7: You need to terminate the declaration with a ; not a ,

Line 9: You're not doing a cin of num2.

Line 14: else does not take a condition. Remove it.

Line 11,16: {} are not necessary.

so i need to add cin num2 after cin num1?

Yup.
