};

im trying to make a text game and i want it to return different text for different inputs but right now it only outputs "you go north"

if (syntax == "north","n") should be if ( syntax == "north" && syntax == "n" )
( and so the others )
&& is the C++ operator meaning and

I believe Bazzy meant that if (syntax == "north","n") should be if ( syntax == "north" || syntax == "n" ) where || is the logical or operator. And, yes, it is a good idea to check out the link he suggests.

Yes, sorry

Thank you i was hung up on that for sooo long lol and ive already been through the tutorials lol

edit: it still doesnt work lol even with this code:

string sytnaxengine(string syntax)
{
	if ( syntax == "north" || "n" ) {syntax = "gon";}
	else if ( syntax == "south" || "s" ) {syntax = "gos";}
	else if ( syntax == "west" || "w" ) {syntax = "gow";}
	else if ( syntax == "east" || "e" ) {syntax = "goe";}
	else if ( syntax == "up" || "u" ) {syntax = "gou";}
	else if ( syntax == "down" || "d" ) {syntax = "god";}
	else if ( syntax == "examine" || "look around" || "look" || "check room" || "examine surroundings" ) {syntax= "examine";}
	else if ( syntax == "invenvtory" || "check inventory" || "items" ) {inventory(syntax);}
	else if ( syntax == "where am I?" || "what room am I in?" || "where am i?" || "what room am i in?" || "where am i" || "what room am i in" || "check room" || "room" ) {roomcheck(syntax);}
	return syntax;
};

//begin program
int actmain()
{
	string x = "";
	cin >> x;
	x = sytnaxengine(x);
	if ( x == "gon" ) {cout << "you go north";}
	else if ( x == "gos" ) {cout << "you go south";}
	else if ( x == "gow" ) {cout << "you go west";}
	else if ( x == "goe" ) {cout << "you go east";}
	return 0;
};

That's because you didn't actually use the code they gave you.
