Im developing a small console application that when started will prompt the user for their name.
as a joke to my sister, if her name is entered i want it to change to her nickname
here's my code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
string name;
cout << "What's your name?" << endl;
getline (cin, name);
if(name = 'SistersName')
{
(name = 'Sistersnickname')
}
else
{
(name = name)
}
cout << "Nice to meet you " << name << "!" << endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;

You're using single quotes, which are supposed to use for chars.
if(name = 'SistersName')
should be
if(name == "SistersName")
