im reading user input and if it's "y" go through the if
but it doesn't go through the if i enter y
can someone tell me why strcmp is not returning 0?

Well, shouldn't this line:

if(strcmp(str3,"y")==0){

be:

if(strcmp(str3,"y")==1){

?

why would it be 1 though? shouldnt equal value return 0?
but yea that would work since it returns 1 for some reason when i enter y for str3

does it return 1 if you type in z too?

1 = True
0 = False

yea it does

what about if you tried x?

i already suggested steps to debug in your other thread. what were the results?



not according to documentation.

Ok. It does in an old language I used to use.

I don't know C, so I'll step out now.

it's not a bad guess. you are correct that 1 is true and 0 is false, but that function actually tells you 3 states, not just 2. it tells you if it's greater, less than, or equal (positive, negative, or 0 respectively). so in this case 1 doesn't mean equal

I see. Thanks for explaining it. So, is there a simple yes/no function instead of using that one?
