Problems with Break in C

Hi guys,
I'm learning C and I'm on the break tutorial but when I run this program nothing happens any advice?

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int option, conversion, pound, dollar;
printf("Enter 1 for £>$\n");
printf("Enter 2 for $>£\n");
scanf("%d", &option);

switch( option )
{
case 1:
printf("Enter the amount in pounds");
scanf("%d",&pound);
conversion = pound * 2;
printf("%d",pound);
break;

case 2:
printf("Enter the amount in dollars");
scanf("%d", &dollar);
conversion = dollar / 2;
printf("%d",dollar);
break;


}
getchar();
getchar();

}

---

Thanks

What do you mean by nothing happens? Do you mean that conversion doesn't print? Why would you expect that conversion should print?

Are you asking why it's displaying exactly what you entered?
Because you clearly save the converted amount into the variable "conversion", but print the input instead.

I've changed what it prints but its still the same. I compile it as break.exe and when I run it in a command prompt it simply does nothing and brings back the command prompt input line i.e. C:\Users etc

scanf("%d",&pound);
conversion = pound * 2;
printf("%d",conversion);
break;

case 2:
printf("Enter the amount in dollars");
scanf("%d", &dollar);
conversion = dollar / 2;
printf("%d",conversion);
break;


}
getchar();
getchar();

}

Maybe name your program something else.

Code:

---

C:\>break /?
Sets or Clears Extended CTRL+C checking on DOS system

This is present for Compatibility with DOS systems. It has no effect
under Windows.

If Command Extensions are enabled, and running on the Windows
platform, then the BREAK command will enter a hard coded breakpoint
if being debugged by a debugger.

Maybe try giving it a different name.
