    Decoding

    this function should find out the first element of array is an interger or a character, then store that element to character named C. but it does not do that..
    What can be wrong?

    this is my input function
    Code:
    gets(userinput);
    decodeinput(userinput);
    here's decoding function
    Code:
    void decodeinput(char input[100])
    {
    
    int i;
    char input3[100];
    
    for(i=0; i<100; i++)
    input3[i] = input[i];
    
    strupr(input3); /* Make command to upper case */
    if('0' < input[0]  <'9')
    num = input[0];
    else if ('A' < input3[0] < 'Z')
    {   
    	c = input3[0];
        printf("%c", c);
        num = 0;
    }

    There are a lot of problems with the code

    Two of the problems are

    1) the if condition should be

    if('0' < input[0] && input[0] <'9')

    2) if you put a char into an int , like int x = '6', the value 6 will not be put in the int , instead the ASCII value will be put in

    for example

    int i = '2';
    cout << i;

    prints 50

    Re: Decoding

    Code:
    for(i=0; i<100; i++)
    input3[i] = input[i];
    use strcpy() to copy input to input3

    syntax : strcpy(input3,input);

    I couldn't agree more. The first problem however, is with the very first line. I'll paste it in here, you see if you can spot it:
    gets(userinput);

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Code:
    char userinput[100];
    
    gets(userinput);
    if gets(userinput) is wrong, then which function should I use?
    scanf?
    getch?
