Survey program help

Benjidude (27)
My program is not displaying the amount of votes correctly and I have no idea why. Any help would be nice!

I know that it's only printing the wii results, I set it like that to try and isolate the problem.

In the if-conditions, replace = with ==

Alright I've done that now. I've also carried on with more of my code because I need to have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd scale after the survey is done including ties. I'm getting a compiler error and I'm not sure why.

it should be else if, not if else

Wow, I feel dumb now. I've changed it but I'm still getting an expected identifier before '(' token error. What is causing that? Thanks for you help so far by the way :)

Your if-conditions as a whole need to be surrounded by parenthesis.

change:
if (totalwii > totalxbox) && (totalwii > totalplay) && (totalxbox > totalplay)
to:
if ( (totalwii > totalxbox) && (totalwii > totalplay) && (totalxbox > totalplay) )


Do this for all of them

I've done that and it compiles but the program doesnt recognise a tie or winners or anything. It's not working as intended but it looks like it should.
