if statement with break!

[game]

char step;
 std::cout"Enter y for yes, n for n, proceed for p"<<endl;
 std::cin>>step;

if (step=='y')
{
   std::cout <<"YES"<<endl;
}
else if (step=='n')
{
std::cout <<"NO"<<endl;
}
else if (step=='p')
{
std::cout <<"PROCEED"<<endl;
}
else
{
//cin.clear();
//std::cout<<"You entered wrong character please try again;
//cin>>step;
break;
}

It doesn't work for me, what is the problem, any help!




The above code doesn't work,

[Peter87]

You need << after cout on line 2.

break; is only used to break out of loops or switch statements. If your code is not inside a loop or a switch it doesn't make sense to use break;.

The break statement can be used only in an iteration statement (loop) or a switch statement. I see neither of these in your code.
