Thread: Couple questions... HELP MEEEEE

I'll start by giving the code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        char user[10];
        char enter[10];
        
        

        printf("             `.      .   .'\n");
        printf("               )     )  (\n");
        printf("               `.  .'    `.\n");
        printf("               .'   )     )\n");
        printf("              (    .`   .'\n");
        printf("                           \n");
        printf("               .-~~~`-.'~~-.\n");
        printf("             -'    `   `  ` `-\n");
        printf("            `---....,,,,,...--'\n");
        printf("              `--.........--'\n");

        printf("\n\n           Can you feel the pie?\n");

        scanf("%c %c", &user, &enter);

        if (user == "yes")
                printf("You are worthy\n");
        else if (user == "no")
                printf("You are not worthy fool\n");
        else
                printf("What the hell...?\n");

        
        return 0;

}

Ok. First problem. When I run the program, everything goes fine untill it goes through the IF statements. No matter what you type, it outputs random characters. Is there a step i missed? Function i need? I tried declaring char variables yes and no, but result is the same.

And the other problem i have, is actually just a question. All those printf statements create a pie image. Is there a way i can shorten all those steps to get the same result?

Help will be appreciated.

your scanf function stores the character entered, but you check the variable against "yes" and "no". try checking for just a 'y' or 'n'.

Ok, i could use just y and n, but Id prefer using yes and no.

So what do i have to do to be able to use yes and no for input.

And the %s doesnt work.

Another note, i thought the problem could be the scanf picking up the ENTER key as input, which explains the ("%c %c", &user, &enter).

So, maybe that gives you guys more insight to the problem.

Code:

scanf("%s%s", &user, &enter);

if (strcmp(user, "yes") == 0)
        printf("You are worthy\n");
else if (strcmp(user, "no") == 0)
        printf("You are not worthy fool\n");
else
        printf("What the hell...?\n");

b.t.w. scanf is no a good function to read strings from input

and scanf doesn't read the newline characters, they stay in the input buffer

Oh yea, forgot to mention something. When i refered to the output being random characters, i meant that when i ran a printf function to print the variable "user", thats when it came with random characters.

It always produces the else statement (What the hell....).

Maybe this info helps...

Also, the strcmp function suggestion isnt working, when i compile the program, it doesn't recognize "strcmp".

Try: #include <string.h> at the beginning of your program...

ohhhhhhhhhhh, oh yea. Didn't think of libraries.

That fixed the problem Monster.

Thanks all.
