  int main (void)
{
 char John [5];
=20
cout << "please enter your name.." <<endl;

cin>>John;

if (John =3D=3D "John")

  Now I'm sure to all you long time C++ ediotrs out there this question =
will be obvious but I just can't figure it out.  here goes.  I want a =
program that asks for your name and then I want it so if you enter   =
John   as your name it will say thanks and if you enter anything else it =
will say    Nope     I have tried and tried but to no avail.  Here is =
what I have



  #include <iostream.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  int main()
  {
  unsigned short int name,john;
  cout << "Please enter your name: ";
  cin >> name;



  if (name=3Djohn)
       cout << "\nThanks!\n";

  else
       cout << "\nNope!\n";

  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
  }



  As of now it says   thanks   no matter what.  I have tried and tried =
but nothing will work and I'm sure I did something stupid to make it not =
work.  If you could rewrite what I did wrong or just write a brand new =
code it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

  J
