Thread: Help with while's and scanf's...

hey
im new here and i have an exam tomorrow so i need to learn how to do this!!!

the question is to write a program that prompts the user to enter a value, with a message then being displayed that is dependent on teh value entered....
the message should be 1 = happy first birthday
17 = you can learn how to drive
30 = still young
40 = getting older

so far i got:

Code:

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

 main()
 { 
   int c;
   printf("Enter value: \n");
   
   while (1)
   scanf("%d",&c);
   
   switch(c)
   {
     case 1: printf("hello you");
   break;
   case 17: printf("you can learn to drive");
   break;
   case 30: printf("still young");
   break;
   case 40: printf("getting older");
   break;
   }
 
   return 0;
   

 }

what am i doing wrong?
thanks
