Answer 1

NO but this works

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char a;
cout<<"what is the name of our country. \n A. india \t\t B. africa \n C.australia \t\t D.america\n";
cin>>a;
if (a== 'A') cout<<"correct. \n you win $100000\n";
if (a== 'B') cout<<"Welcome to Africa\n";


    return 0;
}
