Thread: help plz

perfect it actually does stay now...thanks alot
1 more question tho,

how do i set up a printf for after i select one of the possibilities?
For example if i press M and then i hit enter the window stays, but then i hit enter again, then the window closes, therefor i must have a problem with showing the switch am i mistaken?

ok wat i m tryin 2 say is

when i hit M, i want it to show on dos ( by using scanf i believe) taht you are married and if you hit D instead that means you are divorced.
Here is the cde with the required changes :

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int nblivre, c;   
    float kg, cels, frnht;
    
    printf("Taper le poids en livres:\n");
    scanf("&#37;d", &nblivre);
    
    printf("Taper la temperture en degres farenheit:\n");
    scanf("%f", &frnht);
    
    
    
    cels = ((frnht - 32) / 9) * 5;
    kg = 0.454 * nblivre;    
    
    printf("\nLe patient pese %.1f kg, a une temperature de %.1f degres", kg, cels);
     fflush(stdin);
    getchar();
       printf("Rentrer le statut civil:\n");
   c = getchar();
   
while(getchar() != '\n') ;
getchar();
    switch (c)
    {
                    case 'c':
                    case 'C': 
                         printf("celibataire.");
                         break;  
                    case 'a':
                    case 'A':
                         printf("un autre cas.");
                         break;
                    case 'm':
                    case 'M':
                         printf("marie.");
                         break;
                    case 'd':
                    case 'D':   
                         printf("divorce."); 
                         break;
  
  printf("\n");
 
    return 0;   
}
}

which code do i move all the way down?

Code:

while(getchar() != '\n') ;
getchar();

that one? i did, and if i do keep it like that i have the same problem as before,it closes as soon as i put in one of the four letters

actually i got it workin it was the }

there shouldnt be the two close 2gethere it was suppose 2 be like this:

Code:

                     break;
  
  printf("\n");
}    
while(getchar() != '\n') ;
getchar();
    return 0;   

}

and not

Code:

                     break;
  
  printf("\n");
    
while(getchar() != '\n') ;
getchar();
    return 0;   
}
}

thanks every1 for ur help
