having trouble with if statement and string

i have a code that you enter section after section. when your done, you type end, and it stops asking you to enter in stuff. My problem is, I can get it to detect when I type end.
here is my problem:
I see the problem here. it's saying that if the string "end" equals itself, then go into the if statement. but what I want to happen is if someone actually types end, and hits enter, I want it to be able to know. if they type anything else, then just keep going. how do i do that?

Your IF statements are not testing for equality. You are assigning using just the single =.
Do this.
IF ( end == end )
blah, blah, blah
Do this.
IF ( end == end )
blah, blah, blah
Is it a joke?
end == end is always true (if you don't overload operator ==, of course).
What's a sense of humor

=P
Just pointing out the incorrect use of = in the IF. But yes you are correct of course.
