Illegal function definitions in "DoYouLikeThree()"

Hello, I am having some problems with this piece of code.


char User_Decision;
void DoYouLikeThree(){
cout << "Do you like the number 3? (Yes=Y, No=N)" << endl;
cin >> User_Decision;
if (User_Decision=y){
cout << "You are cool" << endl;
}
else {
if (User_Decision=n)
cout << "You are uncool" << endl;
}

}


What am I doing wrong? (This is just a portion of the program, I have #include <iostream> which should have all the definitions for cout, etc.

Have you added the line "using namespace std" under "#include <iostream>"? You will need that or "using std::cout" and "using std::cin" to be able to use cin and cout.

Once you get that working, you can search for the difference between "=" and "==", and also learn about comparing strings.

Yeah, I have added using namespace std; and I noticed the == mistake and changed that...I don't know why I used a normal equal sign, I know that it is used in giving variables a value.

I have other parts in that program that use "cout" and "cin," and they work just fine, so adding the std's at the top wont really fix anything.

As long as you have something like "if (User_Decision == 'y')", that function should be fine.

If you still get illegal function definition error, check the function above it for misplaced/missing braces.

You might also want to check it with an toupper(), so it will respond correctly to both upper case and lower case values:


if(toupper(character) == 'Y') ;
