Thread: Need some help

Hi guys, I am in need of some real help for my C class. I can't seem to understand why it won't accept 'y' when I input it in. I have not finished it and is only at the beginning of the coding since I don't want to move on without dealing with this first. It's the beginning of the 21 matchstick game. I really appreciate the help.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


//void printsticks (void);
void play (void);

int main (void)
{
	char answer;

	printf ("Would you like to play 21 sticks? [y/n]\n");
	scanf (" %c", &answer);
	
	answer = tolower (answer);
	
	if (answer != 'y')
		printf ("You did not select yes\n");
		return 0;
	
	while (answer == 'y')
	{
		play();
		printf ("Continue? [y/n]\n");
		scanf (" %c", &answer);

	}


	return 0;


}

void play (void)
{
	printf ("testing");
        return;
}
