Help! I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here!

For this, it is supposed to read in the answers entered by the user and compare it to the array containing the correct answers. It reads them in, but I can't get it to compare in the QuestonsCorrect function. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This doesn't do what you might expect

Code:

---

            if ( (answerChoices,correct,i) == false )

---

(answerChoices,correct,i) is a list of expressions that evaluates to the rightmost expression.
That means that you compare the loop counter i to false.

Here's a simple C example, should work just fine but not really tested.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

/* You had this set to 20 but I believe
 * you only had 18 answers actually set
 */
#define NUM_ANSWERS 18
#define MIN_CORRECT 15

void print_title()
{
        printf("    =====================================\n");
        printf("          DMV Driver's License Exam      \n");
        printf("    =====================================\n");
}

int tally(char * key, char * answers)
{
        int correct = 0;
        int i;
        for(i = 0; i < NUM_ANSWERS; i++)
                if(key[i] == answers[i])
                        correct++;

        return correct;
}

int main(void)
{
        int i = 0;
        int e = 0;
        int correct;
        char buf[4];
        char ans[NUM_ANSWERS];
        char key[] = "BDAACABACDBCDCCBDA";
        char * p;

        print_title();
       
        while(i++ < NUM_ANSWERS)       
        {
                if(e == 0)
                        printf("Please enter answer %d in CAPITAL LETTERS.\n>", i);
                p = fgets(buf, 3, stdin);
               
                if(p[1] != '\n')
                {
                        printf("Invalid input - too many characters. Please re-enter answer %d in CAPITAL LETTERS.\n>", i);
                        e = 1;
                        i--;
                        while(p[0] != '\n') /* I'm on linux... not a portable check */
                                p[0] = getchar();
                       
                        continue;

                } else if(*p < 'A' || *p > 'D') {
                        printf("Invalid input. Please re-enter answer %d in CAPITAL LETTERS.\n>", i);
                        e = 1;
                        i--;
                        continue;
                }       
                e = 0;
                ans[i-1] = *p;
        }
        correct = tally(key, ans);

        if(correct >= MIN_CORRECT)
                printf("\nCongratulations! You passed the driving exam!\n");
        else
                printf("\nWe're sorry, but you have not passed the driving exam.\n");

        printf("You answered %d questions correctly and %d incorrectly.\n", correct, NUM_ANSWERS-correct);
        printf("\nThis is the end of the DMV Driving Exam. Goodbye!!\n");

        return 0;
}
