Why doesnt my source code work for C++?

Yes im a noob i just wanted to put in a simple code just for an experiment. No errors, but nothing appears:





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main (void)


{


bool btrue;


bool bfalse;


char bresult;





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Twenty Percent of All Americans Are African American ";





cout %26lt;%26lt; "please enter true or false ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; btrue;


cin %26gt;%26gt; bfalse;








bresult = btrue; cout %26lt;%26lt; "The Correct Answer is false ";


bresult = bfalse; cout %26lt;%26lt; "You Are Correct ";








system ("pause");}

Why doesnt my source code work for C++?
Your input is a text string your test is boolean so both bresults fail, you must convert the "true" and "false strings to boolean values
Reply:If I were you...





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main(){


start:


string answer;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"Twenty percent of Americans are African American, true(t) false(f)?\n";


cin%26gt;%26gt; answer;





getline(cin, answer, '\n');


if(answer == "t" || "T")


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"The correct answer is false.\n";


}


else if(answer == "f" || "F")


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"You are correct.\n";


}


else {


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Invalid Input\n";


goto start;


}
