I am new to programming in C++. I have came across a problem and i was wondering if someone could help me out. I have this code <posted at the bottom> and when i compile it it says: '=' : cannot convert from 'bool' to 'const char * heres the code: Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ int num = 2; const char * a ; a = "COLOR" && num ; system(a); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }
