Hello, this is my first post, so I hope I don't come across negatively. I just started learning C programming language last week, so I am a complete newbie. I used to write basic scripts on mIRC about 8-10 years back, so i have a basic idea of what's going on. very basic... :)
I started watching these University lectures here and the students were given an assignment to take input from the user and output how a viking would say that number. Well, I figured I would try the same thing and here it is. I am traveling in Vietnam right now, so I thought it would be a good idea to just use vietnamese instead of viking.
The program is far from incomplete but I would like help on only one part for now. The If statement near the end is not working properly. When the program gets to that part, the variable is valid_entry is 1 and not 0, but it continues with the code as if it were 0. Thanks for your time and sorry i typed so much!
Code:#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int number_input; //input from user.
int greater_than_ten = 0; //avoids duplicate names.
int valid_entry = 0; //checks that the input is valid
int complete = 0; //will cause the program to loop
//char proceed_again = 'n'; //will allow to repeat translation.
printf("Vietnamese Number Translator.\n\n");
printf("Type a number from 1-100. ");
scanf("%d", &number_input);
while ("complete == 0") {
//check to make sure the number is between 1-100
if (number_input < 101 && number_input > 0) {
valid_entry = 1; //skips the error
complete = 1; //completes the translation
printf("\n");
printf("In Vietnamese, we say \"");
//this section will calculate the numbers.
//it will group the 10's place with the one's.
//number 100
if (number_input == 100)
printf("mot tram\".\n");
//for numbers 11-19
if (number_input >10 && number_input <20) {
printf("muoi");
number_input = number_input - 10;
}
//for number 20
if (number_input == 20) {
printf("hai muoi");
number_input = number_input - 10;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 21-30
if (number_input >20 && number_input <31) {
printf("hai muoi");
number_input = number_input - 20;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 31-40
if (number_input >30 && number_input <41) {
printf("ba muoi");
number_input = number_input - 30;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 41-50
if (number_input >40 && number_input <51) {
printf("bon muoi");
number_input = number_input - 40;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 51-60
if (number_input >50 && number_input <61) {
printf("lam muoi");
number_input = number_input - 50;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 61-70
if (number_input >60 && number_input <71) {
printf("sau muoi");
number_input = number_input - 60;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 71-80
if (number_input >70 && number_input <81) {
printf("bay muoi");
number_input = number_input - 70;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 81-90
if (number_input >80 && number_input <91) {
printf("tam muoi");
number_input = number_input - 80;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//for numbers 91-99
if (number_input >90 && number_input <100) {
printf("chin muoi");
number_input = number_input - 90;
greater_than_ten = 1;
}
//combines with previous section if needed.
if (number_input == 1)
printf(" mot\".");
if (number_input == 2)
printf(" hai\".");
if (number_input == 3)
printf(" ba\".");
if (number_input == 4)

if (number_input == 10 && greater_than_ten == 0) //to avoid * muoi muoi for
printf("muoi\"."); //numbers ending in 0.
if (number_input == 10 && greater_than_ten == 1) //needed to place a "."" at the
printf(".\""); //end of numbers ending in 0.
printf("\n"); //will print a new line
}
if ("valid_entry == 0") {
//added just to test the values
printf("v = %d c = %d n = %d", valid_entry, complete, number_input);
//
printf("Sorry, please choose a number between 1-100. ");
scanf("%d", &number_input);
