    c getchar help

    Hello, I need some help with getchar and compairing characters. I want to make a do while loop asking "Do you want to quit (Y/N)?" If yes, then the program runs again, if not, then it quits. However I have no idea how to do that in code.

    Anyone?
    Thanks in advanced

    any decent 'C' book will have examples of using these library functions. Try Google and see what you find. No one here is going to 'supply' you with your homewrok coding.

    Then I'd wager that either your search strings or your expectations need some adjustment.

    That doesn't change the fact that we're not here to do your work for you. However, since this is dreadfully simple, I'll give you something to start with:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main ( void )
    {
      int ch;
    
      do {
        printf ( "Do you want to quit (Y/N)? " );
        fflush ( stdout );
        ch = getchar();
      } while ( ch != 'Y' );
    
      return 0;
    }
    My best code is written with the delete key.
