Probably annoying to read all this just assuming it’s something related to my string variable so the last part does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

If you’re posting code to the forums please see- How do I format code in my posts? or consider something like a pastebin or gist. Anything that makes it easier for others to read is good :slightly_smiling_face:.

You might want to mention what is that’s wrong and any compiler errors or otherwise. I guess that’s your title?

I’m not sure if there are other errors but for one at least-
What would you expect as the output of the following?

int max;
int value;
if (max < value) {
    std::cout << "yes";
}

Can’t be sure? Initialisation is important, or at the very least setting values before using them :+1:.

Oooh yep I missed that ty and I’ll make sure to format my code next time thanks

I suspect the problem is you have missed the includes needed, the first line you posted is just #include by itself try
#include
