Thread: code ignoring if statements?

for some reason my code is compiling but not recognizing the if statements at all? I put printf statements to find out the where the problem was but its really just skipping past all the printf statements and reading input straight into main. how do I fix this

heres my code in case you need it

Code:

char *consider(void){
    char *clothing;
    printf("what are you considering: ");
    clothing=readToken(stdin);
    if (strcmp(clothing, "shirt\n")==0) printf("what kind of shirt: ");
    if (strcmp(clothing, "pants\n")==0) printf("what kind of pants: ");
    if (strcmp(clothing, "other\n")==0) printf("What kind of stuff: ");
    return clothing;
}




char *kind(char *clothing)
{
    char *kindofclothes;
    printf("what kind?: \n");
    kindofclothes=readToken(stdin);


     if (strcmp(clothing,"shirt")==0)
     {
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "tshirt")==0)
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "sweatshirt")==0)
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "nice")==0)
      return kindofclothes;
     } return kindofclothes;


     if (strcmp(clothing,"pants")==0)
     {
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "jeans")==0)
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "other")==0)
      return kindofclothes;
     } return kindofclothes;


     if (strcmp(clothing,"other")==0)
     {
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "socks")==0)
      if (strcmp(kindofclothes, "other")==0)
      return kindofclothes;
     } return kindofclothes;


}


int main()
{
    char *clothes;
    clothes=consider();


    char *Watkind;
    Watkind=kind(clothes);
    printf("you chose %s\n", Watkind);


    return 0;


}
