You haven''t given a value to your chars
Your archer etc name is wrong, you need only ONE character in the

if(clas == ''Archer'')

area
clas is a char, a single character, and hence

clas == ''anything more than one letter''

will not work, only

clas == ''X'';

You''ll need to work with char strings entirely, or ask the user to type A for Archer etc.

Instead of char, use string. For example:

#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){	string clas;	string name;	cout<<" Select your class:Archer, Warrior" << endl;	cin>>clas;	if(clas == "Archer")	{		cout<<"You''re an archer!" << endl;	}	if(clas =="Warrior")	{		cout<<"You''re a warrior" << endl;	}	else	{		cout<<"That''s not a class:Quiting!" << endl;	}	return 0;} 


Note the following:

  • "Your" indicates possession, while "you''re" is a contraction of "you are." (Sorry for the pedanticism, but these things are important.)

  • The proper contraction of "that is" is "that''s."

  • String literals are always in double-quotes. Character literals are in single-quotes.

  • Use endl instead of \n. While they both add a new-line to the string, endl also flushes the stream, which is often when you want. If the stream doesn''t get flushed, you won''t see the output you expect if your program crashes.
    Or you could use an array of char, but strings would work better.
