False statement evaluation?

[kwikness]

Hi, I have the following source:

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

int main()
{
	srand(time(NULL));
	int userNumber, rouletteNumber, bet, temp, tempChar;

	enum betType {byNumber, byOddEven};
	enum oddEven {odd, even};

	typedef enum betType betType;
	typedef enum oddEven oddEven;

	betType typeOfGame;
	oddEven oddOrEven;

	while(1==1)
	{
		//system("clear");
		printf("\nHow much would you like to bet? ");
		scanf("%d", &bet);

		printf("\nEnter 1 to bet by odd/even, or 2 to bet by number: ");
		scanf("%i", &temp);
		
		//spin roulette
		rouletteNumber = rand() % 35;
	
		typeOfGame = (temp == 1) ? byOddEven : byNumber;
		switch(typeOfGame)
		{
			case byNumber:
				printf("\nEnter your number: ");
				scanf("%d",&userNumber);

				printf("\nThe roulette spun a %i",
					rouletteNumber);

				if (rouletteNumber == userNumber)
					printf("\nYou win $%i", bet * 35);
				else
					printf("\nYou lose");
				break;

			case byOddEven:
				printf("\nEnter 1 for odd, 2 for even: ");
				scanf("%i", &temp);
				oddOrEven = (temp == 1) ? odd : even;

				printf("\nThe roulette spun a %i",
						rouletteNumber);

				switch(oddOrEven)
				{
					case odd:
						if (rouletteNumber%2 != 0)
							printf("\nYou win $%i",
								bet*2);
						else
							printf("\nYou lose");
						break;
					case even:
						if (rouletteNumber%2 == 0)
							printf("\nYou win $%i",
								bet*2);
						else
							printf("\nYou lose");	
				}//end inner switch
		}//end outter switch
		printf("\nWould you like to quit? Press y or n : ");

		scanf("%c", &tempChar);

		if ((tempChar == 'Y') || (tempChar == 'y'))
			exit(0);
	}//end while

	return 0;
}

Why does the bold statement always evaluate to false? Even when I type a 'y' at runtime.

[ssharish2005]

just place a getchar() above the scanf function. To clear the input buffer. You should be fine

getchar();
scanf("%c", &tempChar);

It might be an idea to input to a char, rather than an int too.

[ssharish2005]

And perhaps it would be better to use getchar function to read a char rather than crapy scanf function.

lol oops.. didnt see i had that defined as an int

Also, you should come up with a better way to control your program flow.

do
{
...
} while (tempChar != 'y');

From a psychological standpoint, I think most people are more used to being asked 'Do you want to play again' rather than 'Do you want to quit'?
