I am working on this, but am at a deadend for what to do. Can someone help me with this?

What is the "magic word" supposed to be?

In this example, it is please.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main(){
    std::cout << "You want me to do you a favor?\n"
              << "Please enter the magic word: ";
        
    std::string line;
    std::getline(std::cin, line);
    std::cout << line << '\n';
    
    if ( line == "please" ) { // if the word "please" was entered
        std::cout << "Yes I will do you a favor.";
    } else { // otherwise
        std::cout << "No I will not do you a favor! ";
    }
}

You cannot do it without assigning the magic word to a string as the following code shows:

string magic_word = "whatever";

string x;
cin >> x;

// Compare the input string (in our case 'string x') with the actual key word.
if(x == magic_word)
{
    // the input string matches the key word (int this case "whatever")
    // Do him a favor
}
else
{
    // wrong key
}
