strings and if's

[vlad61]

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

int main()
{
    string mystring;
    cout<<" Enter your name: ";
    getline (cin,mystring);
    if (mystring == 'vlad'){
        cout<<" Hi vlad....weve been waiting for you...";
    }
    else {
        cout<<" Hello, "<<mystring<<" how are you today?";
    }


cin.get();
return 0;

}

i seem to be having an error in my if (mystring == 'vlad'

at first i tried withought the ' ' then put those on just incase, not too sure about what else to change

You must use double quotes for strings "vlad"

There's actually a pretty good reason for it; double quotes designates a null-terminated string literal (i.e. any string), whereas single quotes are used for individual characters.
