Im currently making the switch from vb to c++, and made a simple calculator to help me learn, however i am having a problem. first things first though, heres the code(the margins kinda screwed it up tho,): #include void main() { float numberone; float numbertwo; float answer; char text; cout<<"Type in a to add, m to multiply, or s to subtract:"<>text; if (text = ''m'') { cout<<"Enter in the first number to multiply:"<>numberone; cout<<"Enter in the second number to multipy:"<>numbertwo; answer=numberone*numbertwo; cout<<"The answer is:"<>numberone; cout<<"Enter in the second number:"<>numbertwo; answer=numberone-numbertwo; cout<<"The answer is:"<>numberone; cout<<"Enter in the second number:"<>numbertwo; answer=numberone+numbertwo; cout<<"The answer is:"<<answer<<endl; } } ______________________________________________________________ first of all, ferget waht i said about the margins, any way, when i run it and enter in a for example, i instead get all the i/o to multiply, basically, whichever if statement is at the top, it always uses that one.. any help would be appreciated, sorry for posting a basic question tho.. PLEASE HELP!

yes, that won''t give an error though. I used to void main as well when i first started with c++.

The only thing i can see that would cause that is the single =.

THANK YOU SO MUCH peoples, by the way, im using vc++ 5.0 and i didnt get a warning... anyway thank you!
