I'm trying to run a program so that after I get the user's name and stuff that I'm asking if he wants to play a game. So I am trying to get it so if the user types 1 then the it will say "Okay we will play a game."
But if the user types 2 then it will say "Okay we won't play a game."
Please help me like i said I am very new. Please don't be mean lol.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string name;
string answer;
int main()
{
int count, x;
count = x;
x = 1;
int count, i;
count = i;
i = 2;
cout << "Hello what is your name? " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << endl;
cout << "Hello " << name << endl;
cout << "Would you like to play a game? " << endl;
cout << "If you want to play a game press 1. " << name << endl;
cout << "If you don't want to play a game press 2. " << name << endl;
cin >> answer;
cout << endl;
while (x=1) {
cout << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
x++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
{
while (i=2) {
cout << "Okay we won't play a game. " << name << endl;
i++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
}
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
But if the user types 2 then it will say "Okay we won't play a game."
Please help me like i said I am very new. Please don't be mean lol.

#include <iostream>

i = 2;
cout << "Hello what is your name? " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << endl;
cout << "Hello " << name << endl;
cout << "Would you like to play a game? " << endl;
cout << "If you want to play a game press 1. " << name << endl;
cout << "If you don't want to play a game press 2. " << name << endl;

while (x=1) {

I will edit this post when I'm done.
EDIT:
while (x=1) {
cout << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
x++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
It has to be:
while (x==1) {
cout << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
x++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
X = 1 means that you are setting x to 1;
X == 1 means that you are comparing them...
Fix this for the rest of your code too!

Let's look at the code in sections
int count, x;
count = x;
x = 1;
int count, i;
count = i;
i = 2;
Your variables are a little mixed up all these are a little unnecessary
So remove them
The next line is waiting for the answer 1 or 2
cin >> answer;
This is what you need to check to see what the answer is so instead of
while (x=1) {
cout << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
x++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
{
while (i=2) {
cout << "Okay we won't play a game. " << name << endl;
i++;
cout << "Count is " << count << "." << endl;
}
}
All you need is
If (answer == "1")
{
cout << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
}
If (answer == "2")
{
cout << "Okay we won't play a game. " << name << endl;
}
cout << "Count is " << answer << "." << endl;
This should give the right answer. I haven't tested so apologys if some errors come up. I am on my phone!

Ok thx but I have changed my code up a little so instead of while loops I put in if else statements so please check this.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string name;
int main()
{
int choice, x, i;
cout << "Hello what is your name? " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << endl;
cout << "Hello " << name << endl;
cout << "Would you like to play a game? " << endl;
cout << "If you want to play a game press 1. " << name << endl;
cout << "If you don't want to play a game press 2. " << name << endl;
cout << (1) << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
{
cout << (2) << "Okay we won't play a game. " << name << endl;
cin >> choice;
cout << endl;
if (choice == 1)
{
cout << "Okay we will play a game." << endl;
}
else if (choice == 2)
{
cout << "Okay we won't play a game." << endl;
}
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string name;
int main()
{
int choice, x, i;
cout << "Hello what is your name? " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << endl;
cout << "Hello " << name << endl;
cout << "Would you like to play a game? " << endl;
cout << "If you want to play a game press 1. " << name << endl;
cout << "If you don't want to play a game press 2. " << name << endl;
cout << (1) << "Okay we will play a game. " << name << endl;
{
cout << (2) << "Okay we won't play a game. " << name << endl;
cin >> choice;
cout << endl;
if (choice == 1)
{
cout << "Okay we will play a game." << endl;
}
else if (choice == 2)
{
cout << "Okay we won't play a game." << endl;
}
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

That looks a lot better!
Maybe worth thinking about what happens if they dont press 1 or 2
There is a way you can label your question then if the answer isn't acceptable then it can ask it again
If you have trouble pm me always willing to help!

Keep things simple. This should be simple enough, but as Rango said, think about if another number/key is entered.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int choice;
std::string name;
std::cout << "What's your name?" << std::endl;
std::cin >> name;
std::cout << std::endl << "Would you like to play a game " << name << "?" << std::endl;
std::cout << "[1] Yes" << std::endl;
std::cout << "[2] No" << std::endl;
std::cin >> choice;
if (choice == 1)
std::cout << std::endl << "Playing!" << std::endl;
else if (choice == 2)
std::cout << std::endl << "Not Playing." << std::endl;
