If and else if help.

SuperNyan (11)
I am coding a simple math game that is using a lot of if and elses. When the first question goes through if the answer != 12 is should say incorrect but it does nothing. Any help is appreciated.

first of all show us your code and PLEASE put it in [ code] [/ code] tags.
so i believe you should have something like this:
1
2
3
 
if (answer!=12) {
    std::cout<<"incorrect!"<<std::endl;
}

if(aa1 == 12){
                            cout << "Correct!" << endl;
                            cout << "What is 12+24?" << endl;
                            }


if ends here so it asks for input of aa2

Ok, so i would move 
1

if(aa1 != 12){
                         cout << "Incorrect!" <<l end;

Up to the top of the code like this?

 if(aa1 == 12){
                            cout << "Correct!" << endl;
                            cout << "What is 12+24?" << endl;
                 if(aa1 != 12){
                         cout << "Incorrect!" <<l end;
                            }

why would you ask a new question without rating the previous one?

I am really new to this so forgive me. Your code is doing the exact same thing as my first piece of code. It is not saying Incorrect! after they get the first question wrong.

EDIT: Never mind. It worked the second time, but not the first time. I apologize.
