What is wrong with my c++ program?

#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main()


{


int guess, actual;





srand(rand());


actual = rand() % 10 + 1;





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Guess a number between 1 and 10: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; guess;





if (guess = actual) cout %26lt;%26lt; "Congrats!!";


else if (guess /= actual) cout %26lt;%26lt; "Incorrect. The correct number is " %26lt;%26lt; actual %26lt;%26lt; ".";











return 0;








}





The program is supposed to generate a random number and determine whether your guess is right or not but every guess I enter is determined to be correct. What is wrong?

What is wrong with my c++ program?
You are using only one '=' in your condition statement rather than '=='. Essentially what is happening is you are assigning the value of actual to guess rather than comparing the values. That assignment operation returns a non 0 value, so the condition is evaluated as true





Change the line





if(guess = actual) ....





to





if(guess == actual) ...
