If, Else If Statement Problems

yoze15 (4)
I am having a problem using if and else if statements. I want to eliminate the goto statements used in my code, but every time I try to delete them and let the code exit the while (day = 1)loop by itself (via setting the day to 2 if the if the player survives) it always goes back inside of the while(day = 1) loop.

For example, if I removed the goto statement at the end of the process of chopping down the tree, making a sword, gathering dirt, saying no to making a house and fighting the zombie, I would get this output:

Your day code is csdnf
Press any key to continue...
You have died.
Press any key to continue...
Day 1
You wake up and find a tree. What do you do?
 Chop <c> or Leave <l>?


It stays in the while(day = 1) loop if you continue with the program using the same options (chop, sword, dirt, no house, fight), but I don't understand why because I set the integer day equal to 2 (day = 2). Again, I want to know how I can exit the while(day = 1) loop and enter the while(day = 2) loop without using the goto statement.

You are using = when you should be using ==.
