Question

write a program C++ that asks a user to enter a word from the following list (turtle, tree, tin). If they entered the word turtle, tell them they picked an animal. If they entered the word tree, tell them they picked a plant. If they entered the word tin, tell them they picked a mineral. If they did not enter one of these words, output an error message.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
string str;
cout << "Enter a word from this list (turtle, tree, tin): ";
cin >> str;
if (str == "turtle") {
cout << "You picked an animal" << endl;
}
else if (str == "tree") {
cout << "You picked a plant" << endl;
}
else if (str == "tin") {
cout << "You picked a material" << endl;
}
else {
cout << "Error. You picked an unknown word!" << endl;
