Else IF statements

[redalert127]

u are awsome that fixed the error on the if side of the code but my else's are still underlined as errors

[roberts]

That's because you have single quotes around your literals in your else ifs as well.

[redalert127]

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

int main()
{
	string exercise;

	cout << "Please enter an exercise: ";
	cin >> exercise;
	if( exercise == "curl" || exercise == "chinup");
	{
		cout << "This exercise is for your biceps. ";
	}
	else if(exercise == "pushup" || exercise == "press");
	{
		cout << "This exercise is for your pecs. ";
	}
	else if(exercise == "row");
	{
		cout << "This exercise is for your back. ";
	}
	else if(exercise == "dead lift");
	{
		cout << "This exercise is for your whole body";
	}
}

this is my code as it stands i dont completly understand what you just said

[redalert127]

15,19,23

[Bnn678]

try taking out the else part, or is that required for the project?

[redalert127]

its needed for the program to run correctly

[Bnn678]

you using Microsoft visual I take it

[redalert127]

yep

[Bnn678]

try replacing else if with elif it works.in python not sure about C++

[redalert127]

no didn't work

[Bnn678]

so what does the error say now, don't copy and paste tell what's in quotes

[firedraco]

Your problem is you have ';' after all your if/else if statements, remove them and it will work fine.

[roberts]

remove the semi-colons ';' from the end of your if and else if conditionals.

	if( exercise == "curl" || exercise == "chinup");

Those don't belong there.

[Bnn678]

wow good job fire draco didn't see that

[Bnn678]

did it work?

[redalert127]

[redalert127]

[redalert127]

[Bnn678]

if you really want some kind of separation try putting a _
