c and c++ does not use the "then" statement as some other languages do. The next statement or block following the if statement is executed when the if statement is true. Notice the use of the double '=' symbol which is the logical equal. A single '=' means assignment. Lots of people get tripped up on those differences -- even some old timers like me :o

>how do u write this if then statment but in c++ if g=3282 then g=k;
Don't you have a book? Learning a language is extremely difficult without a proper reference available.

>to bad there wasnt a then like there is an else in c++
Why? "then" is typically used as a language defined parsing helper for the compiler, like the parentheses in C++. When the parser finds "if", it processes a conditional test until it finds the corresponding "then". Compare:
It's pretty obvious that this framework is already in place in C++; it just doesn't use the same tokens.

Now, an interesting tidbit that's largely unrelated is that "then" isn't always used like that. In a stack based language like FORTH, the parsing trick isn't needed, and "then" is used as a conditional terminator (what other languages use "endif" for):

whoa narue thats cool that there is an endif thanks um also thanks for all the advice u have given me it has taught me to have disipline during social speach

>whoa narue thats cool that there is an endif
Well, not in C++. But you can fake it with macros if you're a sadist:
But, don't do that. You won't be able to show your code to very many people before they lynch you.

You are absolutely right about that! I once worked on a large-team project where one of the programmers came from PASCAL -- he created almost everything in macros so that his c++ program looked just like a PASCAL program. After he left we all cursed him for that and rewrite his programs to remove those macros.

thats amasing so macros are suplimentations from other codes, but instead i allso agree that thats stupid. if u want to creat a program in another launge then u should just supliment that santax into an other programs santax instead of using macros, and ok i thought i got it but now im not shure um does this soud corect anyways though?
the { }brackets are sublimented for the then, so ?

also i tried that here but it didnt work
here r the errors
C:\Dev-Cpp\Untitled2.cpp In function `int main(int, char**)':
37 C:\Dev-Cpp\Untitled2.cpp expected `;' before '}' token
here r the errors

see my previous post for example how to use the brackets. And put them on a separate line to make them easier to see -- helps understand the code better.

nvm ignore that one pleas answer the edited question above what u just wrote and pleas answere what i need to fix
