There are some syntax errors. Have you checked the compiler's output?

It would also be much easier to use cin instead of getline.

You don't need sstream. Just replace lines 14 and 15 with:

cin >> a;

ok I know that cin is easier than getline but anyway it doesnt run and it´s not beacuse it seays getline instead of cin. It says else without a previous if AND THERE IS A PREVIOUS IF!

just do

if ( a > 16 )
{
// code
}

if( a < 16 )
{
code
}

else
{
// code
}

I'm pretty sure ( not 100% ) but pretty sure that else has to directly follow an if statement, not an else if statement...

		system("pause");

}



system("pause") // because I run my code in the console and it's habitual lol
