Thread: while loop problem

I'm trying to create a while loop with an 'or'.

The program runs fine without the 'or' but when I add it, the program outputs nothing. Here is the loop in question:

Code:

while ( (sentence[pos] != ' ') || (sentence[pos] != '.') )
		{
		   count++;
		   pos++;
		}

I want it to execute the loop while sentence[pos] is not a space, or a period. When I add in then part about not being a period, it seems to kill the loop. Is this improper syntax?

Wow, don't I feel stupid now. Thanks a lot, I think thats the second or third time you've helped me.
