me again, sorry bout last post

okay, this is what i have and am attempting to use to make a user option quit loop, once it hits the first print statement in the loop it just keeps repeating it. how can i fix this? and is this code even remotely close to what it should look like

{ int id_num[20];
int num_chair[20];
int num_sofa[20];



{int x=1;

printf("Enter <0> under ID number when finished\n");
scanf("%d", &id_num[x]);

while(id_num[x] != 0)
printf("Enter the amount of chairs you desire to order\n");
scanf ("%d", &num_chair);
printf("Enter the amount of sofas you desire to order\n");
scanf ("%d", &num_sofa);
printf ("Enter <0> under ID number when finished");
scanf("%d", &id_num);
x++;
}
}

:D

Hello Nova


Sorry I couldnt fix the problem didnt even read it actually just logged on and it said "welcome to our newest member Nova"
ok man sorry about that



later

I've found 2 errors:
-you should use { and } after your while() if you want more then one statement to be repeated
-when you use an array always let the compiler know where you want to put your stuff in.
here's the code:

{ int id_num[20];
int num_chair[20];
int num_sofa[20];

{int x=1;

printf("Enter <0> under ID number when finished\n");
scanf("%d", &id_num[x]);
x++;
while(id_num[x-1] != 0)
{
printf("Enter the amount of chairs you desire to order\n");
scanf ("%d", &num_chair[x]);
printf("Enter the amount of sofas you desire to order\n");
scanf ("%d", &num_sofa[x]);
printf ("Enter <0> under ID number when finished");
scanf("%d", &id_num[x]);
x++;
}
}
}


I hope this works as you want it
bye

Code:

---


{
int id_num[20];
int num_chair[20];
int num_sofa[20];



{
int x=0;

printf("Enter <0> under ID number when finished\n");
scanf("%d", &id_num[x]);
           
while(id_num[x] != 0) {
          printf("Enter the amount of chairs you desire to order\n");
          scanf ("%d", &num_chair[x]);/*you missed array elements*/
          printf("Enter the amount of sofas you desire to order\n");
          scanf ("%d", &num_sofa[x]);
          x++;
          printf ("Enter <0> under ID number when finished");
          scanf("%d", &id_num[x]); 
      }
}
