C++ help (again)

Okay, until I get this damn unit finished, I'm gonna be asking for a bit of help. I almost had this damn code up and running, but I kept hitting snags that I can't get myself around. I'm still not a l33t code guy.

quote:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()

{
double weight;
double length;
double width;
double height;
bool heavy, volume;



cout << "--- How big is your package? ---" <<endl;
cout << endl <<endl;
cout << "Enter weight of package in kilograms: ";
cin >> weight;
cout << "Enter length of package in meters: ";
cin >> length;
cout << "Enter width of package in meters: ";
cin >> width;
cout << "Enter height of package in meters: ";
cin >> height;
double vol;
vol = (length*width*height);

if (weight > 27)
heavy = false;
else if (weight <= 27)
heavy = true;

if (vol > .1)
volume = false;
else if (vol <= .1)
volume = true;

{
if (heavy = true && volume = false)
cout << "Package rejected: Too heavy." <<endl;
else if (heavy = false && volume = true)
cout << "Package rejected: Too large." <<endl;
else if (heavy = true && volume = true)
cout << "Package rejected: Too heavy and too large." <<endl;
}
else
cout << "Package accepted." <<endl;
return(0);
}

your using the assignment operator(=) for comparison, you need to use the comparison operator(==)

if (heavy = true && volume = false)
youre assigning true to heavy and false to volume rather than comparing, needs to be
if (heavy == true && volume == false)

I should have caught that, and would have, if I had just five more minutes of class to work in.

So, the code should work fine otherwise?
