basic map with navigation

[totalwar235]

i am trying to use my program to move north, east, south, west using the first letter of the full word. though, whenever i run my code and get to this point my coordinates do not update and i remain stuck at 4,6(or 5,6). can anyone help me with this please.

(i will change my goto command after this, it is not efficient coding.)

int counter = Character(9);  //later on for events
	int F_LocationX = 4, F_LocationY = 5, C_LocationX = 4, C_LocationY = 5; //locations
	
	string Direction = "i"; //to define a direction later

	cout<<""<<endl
		<<"you are in the center of the map"<<endl
		<<"what direction would you like to take?"<<endl;
	cin>>Direction[1];

	while((Direction[1] != 'L')||(Direction[1] != 'l'))	//exploration loop
	{

		if((Direction[1] == 'n')||(Direction[1] == 'N'))
		{
			C_LocationY = C_LocationY + 1;
		}
			if((Direction[1] == 's')||(Direction[1] == 'S'))
			{
				C_LocationY = C_LocationY - 1;
			}
			if((Direction[1] == 'e')||(Direction[1] == 'E'))
			{
				C_LocationX = C_LocationX + 1;
			}
		if((Direction[1] == 'w')||(Direction[1] == 'W'))
		{
			C_LocationX = C_LocationX - 1;
		}

		else if((Direction[1] == 'L')||(Direction[1] == 'l'))
		{
			break;
		}

		F_LocationX = C_LocationX;
		F_LocationY = C_LocationY;

		cout<<C_LocationX<<","<<C_LocationY<<endl; //coordinates

                //very likely the problem is above this point

		int Encounter = (rand() % 4) +1; //battle
			if(Encounter == 1)
			{
				cout<<"you have entered into battle"<<endl;
				Character(11);
			}

		F_LocationY = F_LocationY + 1; //location west

		if(F_LocationX == 1)
		{
			cout<<"you cannot go west"<<endl;
		}

		F_LocationY = F_LocationY - 1; //location east

		if(F_LocationX == 10)
		{
			cout<<"you cannot go east"<<endl;
		}

		F_LocationX = F_LocationX + 1; //location north 

		if(F_LocationY == 10)
		{
			cout<<"you cannot go north"<<endl;
		}

		F_LocationX = F_LocationX - 1; //location south 

		if(F_LocationY == 1)
		{
			cout<<"you cannot go south"<<endl;
		}

Decider:

		int No;
		No = 0;

			cout<<"what direction do you wish to go?"<<endl;
			cin>>Direction;

			if(C_LocationX == 0)
			{
				cout<<"you cannot go west"<<endl;

				C_LocationX = C_LocationX +1;

				No = 1;
			}
			if(C_LocationX == 11)
			{
				cout<<"you cannot go east"<<endl;

				C_LocationX = C_LocationX - 1;

				No = 1;
			}
			if(C_LocationY == 11)
			{
				cout<<"you cannot go north"<<endl;

				C_LocationY = C_LocationY - 1;

				No = 1;
			}
			if(C_LocationY == 0)
			{
				cout<<"you cannot go south"<<endl;

				C_LocationY = C_LocationY + 1;

				No = 1;
			}

		if(No == 1)
		{
			cout<<"you cannot go there"<<endl;

			goto Decider;
		}

	}//end of while
	return 0;

string Direction = "i";
cin>>Direction;
while((Direction != "L")||(Direction != "l"))

Make similar changes. Use Direction as an string object, not as a string array.

[totalwar235]

would this still only read the first letter of the direction? that would be the only problem with taking off the brackets to specify the first letter.

Then why not use char in the first place?

i tried char first, i got the same results with a string
