Small game problem, last bool variable seems to output both true and false

levilone (28)
So I wrote a super simple text based game with C++, and everything works until the end. My final if else statement is supposed to say either YOU WIN!!!, or you lose, instead it writes out both and I can't seem to figure out why.

		cout << "In this roome, there is a trophy saying:" << endl;
		cout << "YOU WIN!!!" << endl;
		}
		else (g=false);
		{
		cout << "You lost" << endl;
		}
	
	
		return 0;
}

Here's the output:

I tried that now, I'm still getting the same output, but that makes sense.

I got it, line 60 else (g=false); had to just be else. Thanks for the help it got me looking in the right spot.

(g = true) is assigning true to g, so that will always be true. You want (g == true) for a comparison.

Oh, that explains why its was still giving me the error, the same thing was happening (g=false), that's why getting rid of it altogether worked. if g is true,else it's false I didn't need to add it at all.
