My C++ project.. :-/

For my C++ project I have to create a few casino games. I have just started, and a few things aren't working.. I only have the High-Low game working right now, but whenever I enter "Lower" as input, it reads it as "Higher" for some reason. It works fine if "Higher" is my input. And it also doesn't loop properly, and I have no idea why that is..

So any kind of help would be awesome.. thank you :)

firstly, HLguess is a char, so it can only be 'h' or 'l'. use string instead. secondly, in lines 55 60 65 70 '=' is assignment not comparision. make that ==.

also, some lesser problems: on line 48 there should be while instead of if, so that "try again" message is displayed as many times as needed. on line 94 you dont need if, becouse this line will only be executed if choice!=1,2,3,4 and 5. and on line 99 this may as well be while(true), becouse if choice == 5 there is another way out.
