error: no match for operator ==

[gcr114]

Hey. This is a program that is suppose to get user input for either 3-day or express shipping, then calculate cost. yet the program cant get past the user input 3-day. this is the only error in the program (according to xcode) any help is much appreciated

change
if ( shipping == '3-Day')
to
if ( shipping == "3-Day")

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I really appreciate it!!!!

I was gonna use a workaround of:

char shipping;
cout << "Would you like 3-Day shipping or Express shipping(T/E)?";
cin >> shipping;

if (shipping == 'T')

So thank you very much!!!!

your welcome :) good luck!
