C Programming Tutorial - 18 - Nesting if Statements

[Samcanplaymusic]

Dude, you are a life saver!

I've spent 6 hours on this assignment, and most of the time has been trying to get this stupid nested if statement to work! THANK YOU!

For those who had a problem with %c and %s, cos it certainly fucked my program until I realised he had put that instead - here is something taken from yahoo answers:

the input or output of a single character and has to be used with char datatype
the input or output of a set of character(String) and has to used with a character array

[victormilan]

// (') Single quotation marks is for single character
// (") Double quotation marks is for string

Very helpful tutorial ! Before this I never knew that leaving a space in the scanf parentheses would make a difference.

It should be "m/f/ah" for Attack Helicopter :)

Thank you. I'm teaching myself from a SAMS guide for beginners book and this bug if the compiler has had me pickled for an hour!!!

this makes more sense

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int age;
char gender;
printf("how old are you\n");

scanf(" %d", &age);

if(age>=18)
{
printf("what is your gender?(m/f)\n");
scanf(" %c", &gender);
}


if(gender=='m'){

printf("welcome to the website sir\n");

}

if(gender=='f' ){

printf("welcome to the website mam\n");

}

if(age<18){

printf("your not allowed to view this content");
}

}

For those whose answer is printing dude and m' lady at the same time, you kept a semicolon at the end of IF statement

i'm here now guys! this code is quite catchy

Putting a space before %d or%s will clear the console buffer. It is shortcut to do that. Otherwise you have to do it manually like this :

 #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{


int age;
char ch;
char gender;

printf("what is your age?\n");
scanf("%d", &age);
while(ch=getchar()!='\n');// this is the concept of buffer / console clearance.

printf("my age is : %d\n", age);
printf("what is your gender?\n");
scanf("%c", &gender);

if (age>=18){
    printf("your welcome ");
  if (gender=='m')
    printf("dude");
else printf("my Lady");
}
 else printf("Bye Bye..!!");
}

bucky man you are awesome you are doing great job!!1

[jamesbrown-yrcz]

now i understand if there is only 1 character so we use %c, =))

[abbadkamel]

u are the best man thanx u soo much just continue ...

[hossamsamir]

The leading space before the modifier %c informs scanf() to skip leading whitespace characters, tabs and newline characters

[seong]

Why does "%c"(without space) make bug? (Why should we use " %c"(with space)?)
We've already used "%d"(without space) many times and I've never seen errors about them.

Thank you for all the info!  
Are there gum chewing I hear in this??
