I'm trying to get if the person says no it will do a repsonse if he says yes or I will do it, or something in that matter it will give a different response.

C++

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
    cout << "What is your name son!?" << endl;
    string name;
    cin >> name;
    cout << name << ", hmm, strange name, never mind that!" << endl;
cout << "I have a quest for you, are you interested?"
  char I will.;
       I will not.;
    string I will.;
    string I will not.;
    cin >> I will.;
    cin >> I will not.;
if (I will not.) cout << "Okay then, be gone mortal!" << endl;
if (I will.) cout << "I need you to save the villagers, in the east from a rising golblin attack to prove to me you are worthy." << endl;
return 0;
}

Google c language variable name rules, then google if statement rules. Seriously though try and get a decent book and go through the examples carefully.

Thanks I'm trying my best for doing this only for a day now.
Trying to learn on my own but I can't do that with all things I assume, thanks for the tips :)))

You need yo learn seriously C++ and its syntax.

Here is links to references books on C and C++ by the authors of the languages. Note than C is the ancestor of C++, so knowing C is always useful with C++.

You need to learn the right syntax in C++. Your code doesnt like the compiler.

tips in code:

C++

char I_will;//never ever use space in vars or point
string I_will = "I will."//declare the string and fill it;
if (compare( I_will, "I will not.") == 0 ) //compare ( result is 0 for true) => tutorial

Take some lessons at this fine string tutorial.
