Basic Console Calculator (Storing a string in a variable) C++ - c++

Question

I'm trying to create a basic console calculator in C++. I'm having a bit of trouble storing a string in a variable from a cin command.
Here is the program for some clarification:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string type_cal;
cout << "Please enter the type of calculation you would like to use: \n";
cout << "1. Addition \n";
cout << "2. Subtraction \n";
cout << "3. Multiplication \n";
cout << "4. Division \n \n";
cin >> type_cal;
if (type_cal = "Addition" or "1")
{
int a;
int b;
int sum;
cout << "Please enter a number to add: \n";
cin >> a;
cout << "Please enter another number: \n";
cin >> b;
sum = a + b;
cout << "The sum of those numbers is: " << sum << endl;
return 0;
}
}
Currently I am in the addition phase since I recently ran into this problem. Quick answers would be appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

if(type_cal = "Addition" or "1") simply does not make sense.
if(type_cal == "Addition" || type_cal == "1") {
}

Answer 2

Ok I found the problem, or is actually used as || in c++ (thanks aerkenemesis), and = is not the same as == which means equal to (another thanks to Lorehed). Program is working fine now.

Answer 3

For those who are curious, here is the new and revised version of my simple calculator:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
float addition();
float subtraction();
float multiplication();
float division();
int main()
{
string type_cal;
cout << "Please enter the type of calculation you would like to use: \n";
cout << "1. Addition " << endl;
cout << "2. Subtraction " << endl;
cout << "3. Multiplication " << endl;
cout << "4. Division" << endl << endl;
cin >> type_cal;
if(type_cal == "Addition")
{
addition();
}
if(type_cal == "Subtraction")
{
subtraction();
}
if(type_cal == "Multiplication")
{
multiplication();
}
if(type_cal == "Division")
{
division();
}
return 0;
}
float addition()
{
float a;
float b;
float sum;
cout << "Please enter a number to add: " << endl;
cin >> a;
cout << "Please enter another number: " << endl;;
cin >> b;
sum = a + b;
cout << "The sum of those numbers is: " << sum << endl;
}
float subtraction()
{
float c;
float d;
float difference;
cout << "Please enter a number to subtract: \n";
cin >> c;
cout << "Please enter another number: \n";
cin >> d;
difference = c - d;
cout << "The difference of those numbers is " << difference << endl;
}
float multiplication()
{
float e;
float f;
float product;
cout << "Please enter a number to multiply: \n";
cin >> e;
cout << "Please enter another number: \n";
cin >> f;
product = e * f;
cout << "The product of those numbers is " << product << endl;
}
float division()
{
float g;
float h;
float quotient;
cout << "Please enter a number to divide: \n";
cin >> g;
cout << "Please enter another number: \n";
cin >> h;
quotient = g / h;
cout << "The quotient of those numbers is " << quotient << endl;
}
