C++ Bot

[altunozara]

i Want to make a bot to continue learning c++. I can do this but there is one thing stopping me. I know how to make him reply to when you input a number. With int. and i know that there is float. but what do i say to make it so you can input a word and it will reply?

this may answer your question:

#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char text[20];
cin>> text;
cin.ignore();
if(strcmp(text, "Hello") == 0)
    cout<<"Hello!";
cin.get();
return 0;
}

the computer will answer: "Hello!" if you type "Hello".

is that c...or c++?

stop moose. Go read some more. Jaso, how would that code look in C ?

currently i only use #define hello 1 and go along like that which i'm sure is a terrible way to do it.

how do you guys think im doing? so far i ahve this for my bot...

#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char text[20];
int number;
char sup[20];
char text2[20];
cout<<"Botty: Hey there! Im botty. Whats your name?\n";
cin>> text;
cin.ignore();
cout<<"Botty: Hey "<< ( text ) <<"! How old are you?\n";
cin>> number;
cout<<"Botty: "<< ( number ) <<"... I remember being "<< ( number ) <<". Yeh... those were the days. So whats going on?\n";
cin>> sup;
cout<<"Botty: Oooh! That sounds fun! :-)\n";
cin>> text2;
}

except how do i make it so if they dont say something that i want them to say like...test then it sais sorry i dont know how to respond to that...?

if you want it to dynamically answer questions, your going the wrong way about it, if you want a bot to work that way you want it, you will need to include a while loop. That, my friend, is the next thing you shall learn in C++.
