Whats wrong with my code?

Wulfinite (60)
Hello Everyone. This has been bothering me for a while now and for most of my programs, the line ' if (gender == male)' always has an error! Could someone tell me what the hell i'm doing wrong?

@Wulfinite

You have to put the words Male and Female that you are checking the variable, Gender, against, into quotation marks.

if (gender == male)

should be:
 
 
if (gender == "male")

instead of typing input you can give the user choice like 
1
2
3
4
5

cout<<"your gender \n1.male\n2.female ";
cin>>gender;
if(gender==1)
cout<<"you selected male";
else if(gender==2)
cout<<"you selected female";


it would also be great if you would use float in height and weight

@programmer
read the OP's code
the input has to be read in string.
