Thread: Can i use break and continue at the same time?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

int main (void)

{

    int num1;
    
	
  	 while (num1) 
  	 {
	    printf("Please enter an integer:\n");
	    scanf("%d", &num1);  
	   if((num1>0)&&(num1<=100))
	   	printf("%d\n", num1);
	   	continue;
	  	if(num1<0)
	   	printf("Invalid entry. loop will terminate, Bye!");
	   	break;
	  	if(num1==0)
		break;
		}   
	   
	  
	return 0;
}

There, that is my code, why does whenever I type in a negative value(i.e. -1, -22, -3, -555, etc.) the code still continues to ask to enter an integer and do not breaks, but when i enter 0 it breaks? Help what is wrong with my codes?. Thanks for help.

You're missing a lot of brackets here...what is it you're trying to do? Loop until the user enters a positive integer?

You wouldnt have this problem if you used braces on every block of code (ifs, loops). Tracing your code, if the number you enter in is between 0 and 100 then it prints the number if so. The next statement executed (whether the if is true or false), is "continue"... so no other statements in the loop are executed, as it always "continues" and skips to the next iteration here. If you want to print the number and continue on the condition then you need braces, like

Code:

	   if((num1>0)&&(num1<=100))
       {
	   	printf("%d\n", num1);
	   	continue;
       }

Once you fix that youll realize the other if statement has a similar problem.

Also

Code:

    int num1;
    
	
  	 while (num1)

Your using 'num1' without initializing it. Your compiler is probably giving you this warning. Because of this, you should probably use a 'do-while' loop instead, or simply initialize it before the while loop.

what I should do is to continually ask for an integer if a number greater than 0 is printed if 100<=x>0 the number will be printed then asks for an integer again, if its greater than 100 it will just ask for an integer. If the user enters 0 it will break, if one enters a negative value then it will print "Invalid entry. loop will terminate, Bye!" and breaks. BTW I would like to thank you in my first post for answering my concerns and being such a great help. Wah. What is wrong with my brackets?(Judging from my name it is really clear that I really have a lot to learn).
