question on multiple inputs

[LovestoCpp]

How can you use multiple inputs? For example, Iam doing a simple q and a game.
I want to do a hint and answer, so that one could type either and get the proper response. If this isn't clear just ask.

It could be clearer. Do you mean you want the game to respond differently based on two different valid inputs? Like a menu? Why not just use if/elses? How is your game designed?

Right on the money. If one types hint, you get a hint and if one types a correct you proceed. Yes I ha e used if and else statements but it's still a bit unclear for me. I have two vars for hint and pass to compare against but I feel I'm doing something wrong. If there's a better way or if I'm doing this wrong I want to know so I come for help and clarity on something I'm not sure I understand. My first reason for asking is that my code doesn't make sense and will not work though I can't wrap my head around this issue.
