Noob mistake

Blackhart98 (97)
Umm yeah I have probably the most rookie mistake been learning c++ for a 2 weeks now need help with this please help. When you enter red and enter New York nothing shows up. Its really frustrating I tried putting a else statement but its not working. I tried putting in (Bobby == "Alabama" || Bobby == "New York")
{ string cheese = "Welcome to " + Bobby + "!";
cout << " Congraulations" << cheese << endl;
but thats not working either help me..

    {
       string cheese2 = " Welcome to  " + Bobby + "!";
    cout << "Congraulations" << cheese2 << endl;
    }



}

 if (choose == "blue") //Blue statement
{
    cout << "You are a blue character" << endl;
}
}
}

The way you use code blocks is very odd. There are else statements :P You should probably use those.

The reason new york does not work is because with cin >> by default stops reading when it hits a white space. You probably want to use getline.
