    This example its from an online course I'm studying and find it very useful... [Beginners]

    Code:
    #include <iostream>    
    
    using namespace std;
            
    int main()                            // Most important part of the program!
    {
      int age;                            // Need a variable...
      
      cout<<"Please input your age: ";    // Asks for age
      cin>> age;                          // The input is put in age
      cin.ignore();                       // Throw away enter
      if ( age < 50 ) {                  // If the age is less than 50
         cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works...
      }
      else if ( age == 50 ) {            // I use else just to show an example 
         cout<<"You are old\n";           // Just to show you it works...
      }
      else {
        cout<<"You are really old\n";     // Executed if no other statement is
      }
      cin.get();
    }
    I'm using code blocks compiler...

    How's that ppl at age of 50 are only old whilst at age above are really old.
    That's odd, I'm going to be 50 soon too:worthy:
