Thread: New Amateur with C needs help!

Hey guys!

I just began to learn programming in c (sorry for my gramma)
Right now I am trying out the if statement..

Somehow the statement "you are a kid" does not show, when I enter the age below 20.

Where is my mistake?? :S

Code:

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


int main()
{
  char firstname[20];
  char name[] = "Nick";
  char age[3];
  printf("Hello my name is %s. What is your name? \n" ,name);


  scanf("%s", firstname);
  printf("nice to meet you %s \n", firstname);


  printf("How old are you? \n");
  scanf("%d", age);


  if ( age <= 20){
    printf("You are a kid");


  }


    if  ( age > 20){
         printf("You are not a kid");


    }
    return 0;
    }

You are trying to compare a string to an integer. You can either receive input as a string and convert it to an integer with functions like atoi() or you can directly receive input in integer form to fix this.

Code:

int age;
scanf("%d",&age);
