Expected primary-expression before "else"

Expected primary-expression before "else"
That is the error I get in both "else" and "else if".
What is wrong in this code.( I searched all around and tried "everything" but found no solution.)

  int Answer1,Yes,No,yes,no;
  cin >>Answer1;
  if (Answer1=yes)(Answer1=Yes)
  ;
  {
  cout << "\nStuff here!\n";
  }
  else if (Answer1=no)(Answer1=No)
  ;
  {
  cout << "\nMore stuff here!\n";
  }
  else
  ;
  {
  cout << "\nEven more stuff here!\n";
  return 18; //Note:Line 18 is in my original code, line 1 here.
  }

Why are there ;'s after your if statements?

[anzki4]

Without those There comes errors: expected `;' before '{' token and still the same as before.

[oghmaosiris]

What are you trying to compare in your if statement?

[anzki4]

It`s just a part of and text based adventure. xD
A dialogue in it.

Edit: It supposed to work like "Do you want this?" if you say yes, you get it. If no you don`t. If neither you will get question like : "Are you sure?" and it begins in start.

[oghmaosiris]

Well:

1, you aren't comparing anything. You're assigning Answer1 to yes and then assigning Answer1 to Yes.

2, your if statements should be something like

if (Answer1 == yes || Answer1== Yes)
{
     cout << "stuff here" << endl;
}
else if....etc

Thank you, That worked.

[anzki4]

int main ()
{
  cout << "Stuff";
  cout << "\n\nStuff\n\n";  
  int Name;
  cin >> Name;
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  cout << "<Press any key to do stuff.>\n\n";
  system("pause>null");
  cout << "Stuff.\n";
  cout << "Stuff.\n";
  int Answer1,Yes,No,yes,no; 
  cin >>Answer1;
  if (Answer1==yes || Answer1==Yes) 
  
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  }
  else if (Answer1==no || Answer1==No)
  
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  }
  else
  ;
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  return 18;
  }
  
  
  
  system("pause>nul");
}

Theres the whole "int main". Now the problem is that before that I put there that "if,if else,else"-thing, when I pressed any key it just went on. Now (after adding that code from int Answer1, etc. to return 18;} it just closes the program, with system("pause>null") or without.

[oghmaosiris]

else
;
{
cout << "\nStuff\n";
return 18;
}


Get rid of the ; after the else.

When main returns something (anything) it exits the function, thus closing the program.

[anzki4]

Doesn`t help. It still just closes the program.

[oghmaosiris]

Because you're returning something in Main, lol...

when I said to get rid of the ;, I was just saying that because I saw it there.

You can't return something in main without the program closing.

[anzki4]

Oh, sorry about not reading your previous comment with care. Anyways I think the problem is that the line "cin >>Answer1;" isn`t working properly, because I tried it without the "return", and program ignored line "cin >>Answer1;" and just shew me the line "else". I wasn`t able to do the Aswer1, program just skipped it.

[oghmaosiris]

Well, you never initialized your variables to anything.

So they have random bit patters in them right now, and I doubt those random bit patters match, so your if statement is always returning false causing you to always go to the else.

[anzki4]

Sorry for bothering you so much but how about this.

int main ()
{
  cout << "Stuff";
  cout << "\n\nStuff\n\n";  
  int Name;
  cin >> Name;
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  cout << "<Press any key to do stuff.>\n\n";
  system("pause>null");
  cout << "Stuff.\n";
  cout << "Stuff.\n";
  int Answer1,Yes=1,No=2,yes=1,no=2; 
  cin >>Answer1;
  if (Answer1==1)
  
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  }
  else if (Answer1==2)
  
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  }
  else
  {
  cout << "\nStuff\n";
  }
  
  
  
  system("pause>nul");
}

What is wrong in this version?

[oghmaosiris]

Well, what are you putting into Answer1 when you use cin?

[anzki4]

Yes/No/yes/no, however it always gets the "else" statement.(How do I make it work like this)
Now only 1/2 works.

[oghmaosiris]

because Yes/No/yes/no are not ints. all your variables are of type int. You should put them as character arrays or strings if you want them to store info like that.

[anzki4]

Well thank you for all your help. I think I`ll just use comments like "Press 1 to do that and this, press 2 to do this and that".
