Question

I am creating a program for my Computer Science Final and for some reason no matter what I enter into the output box the answer always comes up as "Stand!" Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Why is the program not reading my command[1]? Thank you

#include<iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

//This program will tell you if you should hit or stand for hard hands only while playing blackjack/21
int main()       //Function
{
   int dealer;                               //What card the dealer is showing
   int user;                               //User's current hand
   string command[2] = { "Hit", "Stand" };   //Array

   //Beginning of Program
   cout << "This program will tell you if you should Hit or Stand ";
   cout << "------------------------------------------------------- ";
   cout << " J, Q, K = 10 ";
   cout << " Aces = 1 or 11 ";

   //Ask what the dealer is showing
   cout << "What is the dealer showing? ";
   cin >> dealer;

   //Loop: if the user enters a number not allowed
   while (dealer < 1)
   {
       cout << "The hand must be at least showing an ace ";
       cout << "What is the dealer showing? : ";
       cin >> dealer;
   }
   //Ask what the user's hand is.
   cout << "What is your hand?: ";
   cin >> user;

   //Loop 2
   while (user < 3)
   {
       cout << "The hand must be at least 3. ";
       cout << "Enter the dealers hand : ";
       cin >> dealer;
   }

   // Conditional & Array: Determine the results.
   if (user <= 12 && dealer < 7)
       cout << "" << command[1] << "! ";      
   else if (user > 12 && dealer < 7)
       cout << "" << command[2] << "! ";
   else if (user < 12 && dealer >= 7)
       cout << "" << command[1] << "! ";
   else if (user > 12 && user < 17 && dealer > 7)
       cout << "" << command[1] << "! ";
   else if (user >= 17 && user <= 21)
       cout << "" << command[2] << "! ";

   system("pause");

   return 0;
}
