if/else not working

[bootman]

I'm new to c++ and im trying to make a program that will allow a user to figure out what Gregory is doing based on the day of the week and other variables.


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

int main() {



cout << "Find out what Gregory will do today. \n";



string weekday;


cout << "What day of the week is it? \n";

getline (cin,weekday);



if(weekday == "wednesday") {

cout << "It is Wednesday";

}



return 0;

}

I havent fully figured out how to get strings from a user yet so this was my first attempt, but when running the program it allows a user to type a weekday, but doesn't go on to print "It is Wednesday" regardless of user input.

//this code is my second try

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

int main() {

cout << "Find out what Gregory will do today. \n";

string weekday;


cout << "What day of the week is it? \n";
cin >> weekday;

if(weekday == "wednesday") {
cout << "It is Wednesday";
}

else {
cout << "It's not Wednesday";
}

return 0;
}

In my second try I got frustrated and went back to just using cin to collect input, but with this code, "It's not Wednesday" is printed regardless of user input.

"It's not Wednesday" is printed regardless of user input.

Cannot reproduce. When I enter "wednesday" (all lowercase), it prints It is Wednesday

your second code is working fine, i didnt used #include<sstream>...it works fine

#include <iostream>

#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {

cout << "Find out what Gregory will do today. \n";

string weekday;


cout << "What day of the week is it? \n";
cin >> weekday;

if(weekday == "wednesday") {
cout << "its wednesday";
}

else {
cout << "It's not Wednesday";
}

return 0;
}

i/p:wednesday, o/p:its wednesday.  anyother string goes to else part
