}








system("PAUSE");


return EXIT_SUCCESS;


}

C++ problem?
You are never taking anything away from dayhealth. The statement dayhealth-attack does the subtraction for the print statement but it does not assign it back to day health. If you want to assign it back you should use -= instead of just minus.





Also the comparison of answer == 'yes' is still not correct because answer is a single character and can only be compared to a single character =='y'
Reply:hmmm.. what's the problem?


if the problem is that nothing happens when you execute this code. It must be the if statement.


"if(answer='yes')" should be "if(answer=='yes')"
