I want to ask why following code works?

#include
int main()
{
using namespace std;
int x;
cout << "Please feed in the first number" <> x;
int y;
cout << "Please feed in the second number" <> y;
bool z;
if (x==y)
z = true;
else
z = false;
if (z)
cout << "Both digits are equal" << endl;
else
cout << "Both digits are different" << endl;
return 0;
}

When the user feeds in two different numbers then the statement which says
if (z)
must hold 0 as z and in return should type "Both digits are equal" because this cout statement follows if (z) statement.
Please comment…

= – assignment operator, used to assign a specific value to whatever you want to assign to.
== – comparing operator, using to compare 2 things.

wouldnt it be the same to put instead of x==y, this: x=y????
i tried and got the same result so…..what is the difference and when do I use each operator????

Thanks..

Yay, I think I completely understand how bool works now. Thanks Alex, this is so much better than even some of those books on cpp. P.S. Here's my little test that succeeded btw.

bool isEqual(int x, int y)
{
	return (x == y);
}
int main()
{
	cout << "Enter a value:\t\t ";
	int x;
	cin >> x;

	cout << "Enter another value:\t ";
	int y;
	cin >> y;

	if (isEqual(x, y))
		cout << "Numbers were equal!" << endl;
	else
		cout << "Numbers were not equal" << endl;

	bool bZero(1);

	if (x == 0)
		bZero = 1;
	else 
		if (y == 0)
			bZero = 1;
		else 
			bZero = 0;
	
	if (bZero == 1)
		cout << "One of numbers was 0" << endl;
	else 
		return 0;
	

}

Hi, i tried to make this program work with three numbers:

i.e.
return (x == y == z)

the program compiled fine and ran, but did only gave the result for “else” (false)

after i took away “int z” it worked just fine…

does bool only work for two variables?

Hi Alex (Admin)!

Great site.
Just wanted to say that I find your site extremely educational, and for me, easy to follow. Good work!

P.S.
I get just as much fun/learning reading the comments at the end of the tutorial as I do from the lessons. I can’t finish a section without reading the comments!

Brilliant!!!
