Thread: gender program help

Hello. Noob here. Started programming yesterday. LEL
How do I write a program that'll interpret "M" and "F" inputs and print a "you're a guy" or "you're a gurl" message?

Code:

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


char gender;
char main(void)
{
    printf("type M or F\n");
    getchar("M" || "F" , &gender);


    if (gender == "M")
    {
        printf("you're a guy\n");
    }
    
    else if (gender == "F")
    {
        printf("you're a gurl\n")
    }


    getch();
}

Characters like F or M are surrounded by single quotes (') not double quotes (").

you have the wrong idea about the getchar() function, try here.

you should not use global variables, your line number 5

Code:

char gender;

should be within your main

You specify the return type of your main as char and return nothing,your main should return an integer in any case

You should have tried to compile your code before posting here.The errors i see could have been corrected
