If Then Else Output Problem

BC300 (42)
I have this pseudocode for a if then else program:

input
display a message asking user thier age
get the users age from the keyboard
display a message asking user for thier friend's age
get the users friends age from the keyboard

processing
none

output
if age_user greater than 39
display "You are over the hill."
else
display "You are still young."
endif

if age_friend greater than 17
display "Your friend can vote."
endif

if age_user equal to age_friend
display "You and your friend are the same age."
display "You should celebrate together."
else
display "You and your friend are not the same age."
display "You should party together anyway."
endif

pause so the user can see the answer

******************************************************

Potential Variables

Data Type Identifier Name
********* ***************
integer age_user
integer age_friend


I did write my code, but it's not working. For example, I typed 11 when it asked for the user's age and then 12 for a friend's age...After executing the program, I got the message that the two people were the same age along with other messages. I must be missing something or wrote the code wrong somewhere....

On line 56 you have
 
 
if (age_user = age_friend)

This is setting age_user to age_friend.


The correct way is
 
 
if (age_user == age_friend)

OK. Thanks. I do have another question. When I see the results, the sentences appear right under "Enter your friend's age".

How can I make it have a space between "Enter your friend's age" and the sentences?

I have a lot of space between the statements...so...Does it always appear like that?

why you have used void pause() . I would suggest you to try getch(); . Well it works fine for me to stop the console from closing. System("pause"); is not a good option for this purpose.

I don't think there is a way to do that. Unless you did something like this maybe:

cout << "Please enter your friends age: ";
cin >> friends_age;
cout << "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";
cout << "Please enter your friends age: " << friends_age << " " << "Some sentence." << std::endl;
