Question

i have looked through other scanf posts but i cant seem to find the issue i have here with this short code.
The thing is when i enter a b or c, it doesnt go to the if or else if statements, i cant really figure out how to fix it, any help would be lovely! thank you!

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

char bogstav, a, b, c;

printf("Indtast a b eller c\n");
scanf("%c", &bogstav);

    if(bogstav == a)
    {
    printf("Du valgte a");
    }
        else if(bogstav == b)
        {
        printf("Du valgte b");
        }
            else if(bogstav == c)
            {
            printf("Du valgte c");
            }
                else
                {
                printf("Du valgte ikke a b eller c!");
                }
return 0;
}

The problem in your code is that you want to compare bogstav to the value of the c character, not of the c value, but you’re doing it in the other way 😛

Just do if ( bogstav == ‘b’ ) to check if bogstav is equal to the b characcter.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

char bogstav;

printf("Indtast a b eller c\n");
scanf("%c", &bogstav);

    if(bogstav == 'a')
    {
    printf("Du valgte a");
    }
        else if(bogstav == 'b')
        {
        printf("Du valgte b");
        }
            else if(bogstav == 'c')
            {
            printf("Du valgte c");
            }
                else
                {
                printf("Du valgte ikke a b eller c!");
                }
return 0;
}
