Loop problem: Asks a question twice!!!

Hi everyone,
could someone please tell me WHY THE 'Are you sure you want to quit?' question gets asked twice, I've trid to put every possible condition on it but no matter what it is asked twice:

Code:

---

case 3:
                                fflush(stdin);
                                do
                                {
                              puts("Are you sure you want to quit ?");
                                        ch = getc(stdin);
                                        if (ch == 'y')
                                        {
                                                printf("Thank you for using\n\n");
                                                exit(0);
                                        }
                                        else if (ch == 'n')
                                        {
                                                puts("That's great!!!");
                                                break;
                                        }
                                }while(ch != 'n' || ch != 'y');
                                break;
}

---

this is the third 'case' of a switch statement.
Any help would be appreciated.

To extend on Salem's educated guess....

Let me guess that this:
>>case 3:
is a result of doing something like:

Code:

---

printf ("Enter your menu option:");
scanf("%d", &option);
switch (option)
{
  ...
  case 3:
  ...
}

Also, this will never be false:

Code:

---

while(ch != 'n' || ch != 'y')

---

Try using && instead.

--edited out previous reply--

It wont matter. they will both exit if he enters invalid data. And if it is correct data, it will exit, or break.

Yes Hammer, you are right case 3 is a menu option.
For everyone who is confused, this is the output I get when I choose option 3.

Code:

---

3  enter
Are you sure you want to quit?
Are you sure you want to quit?
waits for input

I think the rest of it works fine but I don't remember exactly. I'll see if there's any more errors on the output when I go back to Linux.

I see a lot of guesses, assumptions, and confusion based on what people think you are doing to get to this "case 3:". Because of that, might it not be best to post all the code that get's you into this case?

And, if Hammer is correct, search the FAQ for info on scanf() because that's most likely your problem. Why it's a problem is answered on this board 2-4 times a week, and in the FAQ. A quick search gives you your answer quicker, and we don't have to explain the problem for the 234th time.
