help me find my problem

hey guys i have a problem, i wrote this code for my C++ class and i cant seem to find why im always outputting the same command at the end of the program every time, you will know when u paste this into your compiler

--------------------------------------------------------------------------#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
SetConsoleTitle("James Russick's Project");
int month,day,year,leftover,daysleft,back,classesleft,daysleft1;
const int oct=31;
const int nov=30;
const int dec=11;

back = 1;

do
{
cout << "What is the current month? \n";
cout << "october = 10, november=11 , december= 12 \n";
cin >> month;
if (month == 10 || month == 11 || month == 12)
{
back = 2;
do
{
cout << "\n" "What is the current day? \n";
cin >> day;
if (day >= 1 && day<=31)
{
back=3;
do
{
cout << " \n" "What is the current year? \n";
cout << "ex: 2007\n";
cin >> year;
if (year == 2007)
{
back=4;
cout << " \n" "Okay so the date is " << month << " " << day << " " << year << "?\n";

classesleft = 1;
do
{
//OCTOBER
if (month == 10) // lines 44-58 calculate days and classes left and output them
{
leftover = oct - day;
daysleft = leftover + nov + dec;
cout << "\n " "There are " << daysleft << " days left until the end of the semester \n";
do
{
daysleft = daysleft - 7;
classesleft = classesleft + 1;
}
while (daysleft >= 7);


cout << "And there are " << classesleft << " class sessions left";

}

//NOVEMBER
if (month == 11) // lines 62-75 calculate days and classes left and output them

do
{

classesleft = classesleft + 1;
}
while (daysleft >= 7);

cout << "And there are " << classesleft << " class sessions left";

}

if (back == 5)
system("pause");
return 0;
}
while (back=4);

}
else
{

cout << " \n" "Sorry, the correct answer is 2007 \n";
cout << " \n";

}

}
while (back = 3);

}
else

cout<< " \n" "Invalid Day, the day must fall between 1 and 31! \n ";
cout<< " \n";

}

}
while (back = 2);

}
else

cout << " \n";
// back = 1;
}

}

Well your code is a bit bloated, which is fine for now, I redid the entire program but I intentionally left out all error handling and IO error handling, you can use this code, but try to incorporate error handling with it, good luck

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <windows.h>
int main(){
    
    SetConsoleTitle("James Russick's Project");
    char month [15];
    int day,daysleft;
    const int dec = 31;
    const int nov = 30;
    const int oct = 31;
    
    cout << "Enter the month" << endl;
    cout << "Your options are: November, December, and October." << endl;
    cout << "Month: ";
    cin >> month;
    if (month == "October" || "october"){
              cout << "You have selected " << month << endl;
              cout << "Enter the numerical day: ";
              cin >> day;
              daysleft = oct - day;
              cout << "There are " << daysleft << " days left in " << month << endl;;
              system("pause");
              return 0;
              }
                  if (month == "December" || "december"){
              cout << "You have selected " << month << endl;
              cout << "Enter the numerical day: ";
              cin >> day;
              daysleft = dec - day;
              cout << "There are " << daysleft << " days left in " << month << endl;;
              system("pause");
              return 0;
              }
                  if (month == "November" || "november"){
              cout << "You have selected " << month << endl;
              cout << "Enter the numerical day: ";
              cin >> day;
              daysleft = nov - day;
              cout << "There are " << daysleft << " days left in " << month << endl;;
              system("pause");
              return 0;
              }
              }

For future note you can use char (nameofchar) [(charsize)] for characters there and you can see that the if statements compared the users input to the string to determine the next set of events.

 

thankyou sir!!! i really appreciate that.... i know its a bit long but i wasnt really sure of another way to handle the possible errors that people inputted, so i set everything in a do while loop and made a variable so that it would continue the loop while the wrong input was in..... i dunno... thanks tho i really appreciate it

 

if anyone cares, heres the finished product....

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

    if ((!(strcmpi(month,"february")) || (!(strcmpi(month,"February"))))) // characters in a case statement
           monthnum = 2;
    if ((!(strcmpi(month,"march")) || (!(strcmpi(month,"March")))))       // so this checks if the input is a month
           monthnum = 3;                                                 // and if it is then it will assign it a 
    if ((!(strcmpi(month,"april")) || (!(strcmpi(month,"April")))))       // value and continue
           monthnum = 4;
