Thread: Issue With Looping

Hello World


I am new to C, and I am very confused with what is going on in my program. I am sure that people have asked this before, but I am looking around and can't find anything on how to fix it. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Code:

// store starting variables
    char buffer[2];
    int numPlayers;


    // print title
    printf("*------------------------------------*\n");
    printf("|                                    |\n");
    printf("|                Wheel               |\n");
    printf("|                 of                 |\n");
    printf("|               Fortune              |\n");
    printf("|                                    |\n");
    printf("*------------------------------------*\n");


    printf("\n\nHow many players are there? (1-4 recommended): ");
    fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer) + 1, stdin);
    fflush(stdin);
    numPlayers = atoi(buffer);
    
    while(numPlayers <= 0 || numPlayers > 10) {
        printf("\nThat amount can't play. Try again: ");
        fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer) + 1, stdin);
        fflush(stdin);
        numPlayers = atoi(buffer);
    }


    printf("%d\n", numPlayers);


    return 0;

OUTPUT:

What issue are you facing?

fflush(stdin) is wrong. fflush() is only valid for use on output streams. Use one of the alternatives shown in this link.
