i keep having problem with my code

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
float a,b,c;
cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>a;
cout<<"Enter another number: ";
cin>>b;
cout<<"Enter the type of computation (+,-,/,*) = ";
cin>>c;

if (c='+')
{
cout<<"The sum is "<<a+b;
}
else if (c='-')
{
cout<<"The difference is "<<a-b;
}
else if (c='/')
{
cout<<"The quotient is "<<a/b;
}
else if (c='*')
{
cout<<"The product is "<<a*b;
}
getch();
}

This (c='+') is an assignment. This (c=='+') is a comparaison.

Hello Udit,
I think the problem is with the variable c..
You have declared it as float but you are tring to compare it with a character type like '+','-' etc..
Use char c;
and also to compare- use == symbol
like
if (c=='+')
