Is it possible in c++ to allow the person to type the sign they choose>?

Like in pythonI think you can do

print "Choose blah blah"
if input = ""
etc?

sorry for typing my lapop broke and im on a netbook

Yes, absolutely. The easiest thing would be to store the input as a char (a 1 byte data type that can store a single character such as 'a'). You could also bring in the C++ string library and store the input as a string. The string library overloads the equal to operator (==) to allow for comparing two strings.

Char

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main ()
{
  std::cout << "Enter a character: ";
  char input;
  std::cin >> input;
  
  if (input == 'a')
  {
    std::cout << "You entered the letter A." << std::endl;
  }
  
  return 0;
}

String

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
  std::cout << "Enter a character: ";
  std::string input;
  std::cin >> input;
  
  if (input == "something")
  {
    std::cout << "You said something." << std::endl;
  }
  
  return 0;
}
