Re: Big looping problem in C - help

Nov 4th, 2008

The problem is that your outer loop is checking for 0 to exit. So when you have an error condition you are exiting the loop. Is there a char you enter to exit the program? That's the value that you'll want to use in that loop. I think you'll want to do something like this...

while(c != SENTINAL){
   if(c == 0){
      PrintIt("error must be 1-4");
      continue;
   }
 //other loop code
}
while(c != SENTINAL){
   if(c == 0){
      PrintIt("error must be 1-4");
      continue;
   }
 //other loop code
}

SENTINAL is the value the user enters to exit your program
