How to add condition to write something for a "cout" ?

UrsaWarlord (9)
I need some help for my program which I wanna send to my friends. I need to put a condition to write Y/N to send the 2nd cout I put, can you tell me what code do I need?

    {
    cout << "Wanna hear a joke?" << endl;
    cin >> response;
    switch(response);
    cout << "UrsAWarLord Anti-Mage EleGiggle" << endl;

switch(response)

case (Y):
cout<<"Whatever you want"<<endl;
break;
case(N):
cout<<"I dont want to";
break;

It doesn't work at all. Do I have to add something to make "y" and "n" available?

you must do an enum with Y and N...for that you use an string and compare...then load the enum variable and then it's ready to use in a switch case...

With that I finish this, can i add more words for the same task? If I try, somehow, to add more words for case(Y) and case(N) it gets blind. Thanks for everything by the way.

look at your enum enum decision {Y,N}; it contains two elements, Y and N, you could add more or change them too, for instance enum decision{yes,no,ok,tomorrow} then you have 4 case for your switch(decision) case(yes),case(no),case(ok),case(tomorrow)

I mean more words to lead to case(Y), I need for example yes,no,nu,da, it's possible?

	//what = response;
    switch(whichone){
    case(yes):
	cout<<"I'm yes"<<endl;
	break;
	case(nu):
	cout<<"I'm no"<<endl;
	break;
         case(nu):
	cout<<"I'm nu"<<endl;
	break;
	case(da):
	cout<<"I'm da"<<endl;
	break;
	

}
	
	return 0;
 }


It's possible you just put as many values as you want in the enum and with the name string that you want...each "word" will be a case for you....

What if I wanna nu = no & da = y task? What command do you use to pause the console when executing program? I dont like the system("Pause").
UrsaWarlord (9)
I have done the code, I still need a pause code, i'm not sure which to use.

  if((str =="Y")  or ( str == "y"));
         
        {
            whichone = Y;
        }
        else if((str =="N") or (str=="n"));
       
        {
            whichone= N;
        }

I need a pause to the ending because when i run the .exe it closes immediately. Secondly, can you tell me how to make a delay at a "spamming" cout?
Winsu (285)
I don't understand what you mean completely but there is a function is sleep_for and you choose the time you want the program sleeps...
