else {
   cout<<"You are really old\n";     // Executed if no other statement is
 }
 else if ( age == 50 ) {
   Cout<<"live your life now\n";
}

try this
else if ( age == 50 ) {
Cout<<"live your life now\n";
}
else {
cout<<"You are really old\n"; // Executed if no other statement is
}

do you understand the difference?

im sorry i had that before it still didnt work

[bdlt]

the following is executed before the == 50 code.

if ( age < 100 ) {                  // If the age is less than 100
    cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works...
 }

try this:
if( age == 50 ) {
Cout<<"live your life now\n";
}
else if ( age == 100 ) { // I use else just to show an example
cout<<"You are old\n"; // Just to show you it works...
}
else if ( age < 100 ) { // If the age is less than 100
cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works...
}
else {
cout<<"You are really old\n"; // Executed if no other statement is
}
[code=auto:0]

ok so a lower number always goes first

[bdlt]

if ( age < 100 ) { // If the age is less than 100
cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works...
}

no.

the code above takes care of any age < 100 and everything that follows is not executed.

when you have
if{}
else if{}
else if{}
else if{}

as soon as ANY if or else if is satisfied, none of the other else if statements are executed.

make sense???????
