RE: [Dev-C++] IF [faked-from][sls]

You have to declare each side of the '||' as a seperate check.
 
ie:
 
if ((letter2 != 'u') || (letter2 != 'v') || (letter2 != 's') || (letter2 !=
't') || (letter2 != 'a')) {
  cout<<"An error has occured, check you typed in only u, v, s, t or
a."<<endl;
  exit();
  }
 
I do not know for sure if the brackets inside the '||' are required but this
should fix your problem

problem with if statement:
if (letter2 != 'u' || 'v' || 's' || 't' || 'a') {
  cout<<"An error has occured, check you typed in only u, v, s, t or
a."<<endl;
  exit();
  }
 
Compiles ok but after checking i've realised it believes the values are part
of an earlier enum declaration:
 
enum value{u,v,s,t,a};
value letter;
 
How do i tell the compiler i want charactors, not enum values?
