C++ Problem

I have created a small program, just to get a feel for C++, but every time that I run it keeps printing the first line of the program until stopped with Ctrl + C. Does any one have any solutions as to why. Thanks.

wow, I need to be psychic just to help you is it?

You should post your code.

#include <cstdlib> #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void) { ;int iPassword; ;int iPassword2; ;int iPassword3; while(true) (

cout << "Please enter the password: " ) << endl;
cin >> iPassword
;if(iPassword = 255)
( 
              cout << "That is correct." << endl);

              
if (iPassword < 255 | iPassword > 255)
(
              cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl);
cout << "Please enter the second password: " << endl;
cin >> iPassword2
;if(iPassword2 = 916)
(
               cout << "That is correct.") << endl;
if (iPassword2 < 916 | iPassword2 > 916)
(
               cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl << endl);
;if(iPassword3 = 5131)
(
               cout << "ACCESS GRANTED" << endl << endl);
if (iPassword3 < 5131 | iPassword3 > 5131)
(
               cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl << endl);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;

}

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like there's a lot of mistakes in this program.

Yes, At a glance I found four.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    int iPassword;  // also just noticed that you had ; at the beginning, don't put then there.
    int iPassword2;
    int iPassword3;
    while(true)
    (
               
    cout << "Please enter the password: "  << endl; // the parentheses
    cin >> iPassword;
if(iPassword == 255)  
  // you had to set this as == not = or it will set it as  255
    ( 
                  cout << "That is correct." << endl);

                  
    if (iPassword < 255 | iPassword > 255)
    (
                  cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl);
    cout << "Please enter the second password: " << endl;
    cin >> iPassword2;
if(iPassword2 == 916) //same here
    (
                   cout << "That is correct.") << endl;
    if (iPassword2 < 916 | iPassword2 > 916)
    (
                   cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl << endl);
    if(iPassword3 == 5131) // and here and an extra ; at the begining
    (
                   cout << "ACCESS GRANTED" << endl << endl);
    if (iPassword3 < 5131 | iPassword3 > 5131)
    (
                   cout << "That is incorrect, please try again." << endl << endl);
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}```

SpeedyJ250, if you're just getting the feel of C++ I'd suggest you'd start off by doing something simpler just to get the hang of the individual functions you're trying to use. Also what yours31f said about using two = signs when comparing, same goes for most other things as well, such as |, which could in your attempt be easily replaced with an "else" statement.

Also you can surely use more efficient coding practices, like if else statments. Pseudocode:

if password = 619: print "That is correct" else: print "That is incorrect"

I also added that you don't need to put semicolons in the beginning of a command.
