What is wrong with this program, why won't this work? I'm getting back into programming, I don't know how to make this work. Thank you! Note this is only part of a bigger program. Everything works except for this part. Thanks again.

A few problems:

1) response is not defined.
2) You're missing a } to terminate main
3) You're trying to compare an array to a quoted literal (18,33,48)

Try this instead:

std::string computeranswer; 

        computeranswer = rockpaperscissors[rand() %3];
        cout << computeranswer << endl;
        if (computeranswer == "rock")
...


BTW, there is no need to put quoted literals in parentheses.
