Trouble with using strings in if statements?

[thereallynewguy]

Hello all, I'm really sorry if this as been posted already. I looked around and couldn't find an answer. Here's the whole code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main () {
    string answer;

cout<<"Would you like to see if test program works?"<<endl;
cin >>answer;

if(answer == 'y'){

cout<<"Well fine, then, be that way."<<endl;
}


}

Whenever I run it, I keep getting the same error:

error: no match for 'operator==' in 'answer == 'y''

I looked and looked and looked, but I failed to see how to resolve this issue. What am I missing?

cheers,
New Guy

You used answer as string so,
answer == 'y' will definitely wrong because 'y' is for character though you used string as your data type you need to use
answer =="y"..

Oh my God! So simple! Worked, thank you friend. I set the identifier to char instead. If I were to use string anyhow, you say I would use quotations instead of apostrophes?

ohh...that's great you change it to char...
yes you need to use quotations instead of apostrophes while using string..
