Thread: problem exiting program

This is what the code is now:

Code:

do{
	printf("---Welcome to Mastmind--- \n");
        printf("Please enter your name: ");
	fgets(username, 20, stdin);
	exit_check = continue_playing(username);
	printf("\nHello %s", username);
        //OTHER CODE IS HERE
}	while(exit_check == 0);

int continue_playing( char* checkvar )
{
	if ((strncmp(checkvar, "EXIT\n", 4) == 0)||(strncmp(checkvar, "exit\n", 4) == 0)||(strncmp(checkvar, "Exit\n", 4) == 0)){
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

This is the same as you posted, but this would stop the loop once it gets to the end of the loop, i need it to stop before it gets to the end.

Thanks

You need to check the value of exit_check after the return from continue_playing(), otherwise it's going to continue until it checks it at the end of the do loop, just like I said in my earlier reply.

Code:

exit_check = continue_playing(username);
if (0 != exit_check) 
    break;
