Whats wrong with my || operator

[Kimmey]

Why does the following code never exit the loop when the correct string is entered?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string myString = "";
    while( (myString!="one") || (myString!="two") )
    {
        cout << "enter the word one or two: ";
        cin >> myString;
    }
return 0;
}

Error is in your logic...
use && instead ||

Exactly. If your user enters "one", then myString!="one" is false, but myString!="two" is still true, because "one"!="two".
