I am learning c++, and there is a lot that i dont know, so if this is
a stupid question, I am sorry. regardless, I am trying to get my
program to check and see if a char value is a certain value, and then
act appropriately. The compiler goes into fits when I do this, and if
I double click the error it opens ostream, and i figure that I really
have no business messing with that.
So, my code looks something like:
choice is a char and destination is a string. I think that the real
place that i have having trouble is in the comparing a char part of
the code. (basically I dont know how to do it and would like you to
tell me.) I have googled it, but I have a hard time finding code
snippets that explain how to do stuff.
if (choice = a)
destination = "someplace";
Thanks in advance for the help, if I need to post further
claification, please let me know.

= is the assignment operator.
== is the comparison operator.
a look like a variable name. To compare choice with the char a use:
if (choice == 'a')

choice = a ?
Maybe you mean
choice == 'a'
?
Unless you define the `a` you're going to get undefined identifier
errors and if you use `=` (assignment) instead of `==` (equality
compare) you're probably not going to get behaviour you want.

Typo. Make that:
if ( choice == a )
^^
destination = "someplace";

The comparison operators are
== equal
!= not equal
< less
<= less or equal (aka. not greater)
greater
= greater or equal (aka. not less)
You need to distinguish them from the assignment operators
= assignment
<<= shift in place
>>= shift in place
