Thread: why is this not working

hi i have a simple program i cant exit the program

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

main()
{
int x;
printf("press 3 to exit"):
scanf("%i",x):
while(x!=3) // i want to exit from the loop if its 3 isthis right
{

}

This program will work . But if you give any non-numeric characters then the loop will run unterminatly.For that you have to check the input before processing that .

Code:

 
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

main()
{
int x;
printf("press 3 to exit");
scanf("%i",&x);
while(x!=3) // i want to exit from the loop if its 3 isthis right
{
scanf("%i",&x);
}
}
