Invalid Operands to Binary Expression

ldelsignore (57)
I have written this code as an assignment wherein some computations are done after the user enters a number of inputs, one of which is the day of the week. However my compiler (Xcode) does not accept my boolean expressions claiming "Invalid operands to binary expression". What can I do to fix this? I would appreciate any help.

        cost = (minutes * 0.15);
    cout << "The cost of your phone call will be $" << cost << "." << endl;
    return 0;
}

Hi there,

Try using double quotes around your day names:

day=="Su"

Single quotes are for char literals, like 'c' or 'x'
Hope that helps. please do let us know if you require any further help.

All the best,
