I need help on writing a statement that can get the words yes and no from the terminal. I do not need y or n, and I know that I need an array of some sort.
Here's my code :
.
.
void do_again()
{
char yn[4];
cout<<"Would you like to play the Facto Game?
";
cout<<"Please enter yes or no and press enter.
";
do
{
cin.get (yn, 4);
cin.ignore(80, '
');
if (strcmp(yn, "yes")==0)
{
info();
}
if (strcmp(yn, "no")==0)
{
cout<<"Goodbye!
";
break;
}
if ((yn !='no)||(yn!='yes))
{
cout<<"Error
";
do_again();
}
.
.
.

if ((yn !='no)||(yn!='yes))
{
cout<<"Error
";
do_again();
}

You have made mistake here, use strcmp and proper syntax
if (strcmp(yn,"no") && strcmp(yn,"yes"))

Yes, I added that code, but it still gives me one error. I also declared char yn[4] as a global variable.
Here's the code :
.
.
.
if (strcmp(yn,"no"))&&(strcmp(yn,"yes")
{
cout<<"Error
";
do_again();
}
.
.
.
It gives me the error :
'missing ";" before "&&"

What's going on???

That should be

strcmp( string1,string2 ) == 0

to check if a string is exactly equal to another string. So, to test if the string is "yes", you'd do this:

if( strcmp(inputstring, "yes") == 0 ) {
  // IS YES
}

Also, make sure you include string.h.

Just a tip:
When using code, uncheck the emoticons option in the new post screen.  It will make sure that ;) is not converted to a smilie

but it looks so cute in the code... lol
