C++ Can't figure out why its giving false positive (newbie)

Question

Hey so I recently started learning C++ and I can't figure out why this problem is giving a false positive all the time.

Maybe someone can help?

// [Included stuff]

using namespace std;

int main() {

    int erg = 5;
    int inp;

    cout << "Answer: 3 + 2: "; 
    cin >> inp;

    if (inp == erg) {
        cout << "True!";
    };

    if (inp <= erg || inp >= erg) {
        cout << "False!";
    }
    else {

    };
}

Answer 1

The condition in this if statement

if (inp <= erg || inp >= erg) {
    cout << "False!";
}

means that inp can be equal to any number. That is the condition is always evaluates to true so the enclosed statement

    cout << "False!";

is outputted.

It seems you mean either

if (inp != erg) {
    cout << "False!";
}

or (that is only confusing because too complicated)

if (inp < erg || inp > erg) {
    cout << "False!";
}

Or you could write something like

if (inp == erg) {
    cout << "True!\n";
}
else if ( inp < erg ) {
    cout << "False! Less than the result\n";
}
else {
    cout << "False! Greater than the result\n";
}

If you have a condition like this

inp == erg

then its negation will look like

!( inp == erg )

or more readable

not ( inp == erg )

that is the same as

inp != erg

It would be enough to write

if (inp == erg) {
    cout << "True!\n";
}
else {
    cout << "False!\n";
}

Pay attention to that semicolons after closing braces are redundant.
