hi, just a quick one, im just learning c++ at the moment.
How can i do this:

std::cout << "Would you like to continue? (Y/N)" << endl;
char menu;
	std::cin >> menu;
	if((menu == "y") || (menu == "Y"))
	{
		cout << "  " << endl;
	}

all im trying to do is allow a user to say yes they want to continue.. what is wrong with the above ? the error i get:

error:ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer
error:ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer

Try using 'y' in stead of "y".

You need the single ' around the Y and y instead of ".
